Course Description
This course, presented by the IMF Monetary and Capital Markets Department, discusses recent developments in stress testing for banks and gives participants the opportunity to learn and apply new tools used or created by MCM for stress testing purposes. Some of the tools are integral to the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) and technical assistance missions throughout the world. Moreover, the course allows participants to share their experiences with stress testing. The course reviews the objectives of stress testing and of methodologies and techniques currently used for that purpose and advises on some best practices for applying these techniques. Much of the course consists of hands-on modules that expose participants to the entire stress testing cycle, from entering data and estimating econometric models to create macro-financial links to designing assumptions, running tests, and summarizing and presenting the results.
Throughout, the focus is on the solvency and liquidity elements of the stress testing exercise. The course concludes with a roundtable discussion where participants exchange knowledge and share country experiences.
