The 3 Pillars & Stress TestingThe 3 Pillars & Stress Testing

Minimum Capital

Requirement

Minimum requirements provide economic incentives -

in the form of lower capital charges* *For

those banks that develop better measures for their exposures to risk and better techniques for managing their risks

Hence, banks perform back-tests on their risk models

to ensure they are valid and measure risk exposures appropriately

Pillar 2 Overview

Firm assessment Supervisory assessment

Identify and assess material risks

Identify mitigating controls

Identify amount of capital in relation to business plan, strategies, and profile

Produce capital number and assessment

Review and evaluate all risk and control factors

Review and assess the firm’s risk assessment

Objective:•

That the firm can meet its capital requirements at all times through out a reasonably severe economic recession.

Why capital planning?•

Elements 1 to 3 are static

Assure the firm will have sufficient capital tomorrow

Two aspects:•

Capital planning, and

Stress testing

Pillar 2 Interest Rate Risk in the

Banking Book (IRRBB)

Page 11: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Rules –

a selection (paraphrased)•

GENPRU 1.2.30R8

Firm must have in place sound, efficient and complete processes,

strategies and systems to identify and manage …. interest rate risk

GENPRU 1.2.428

A firm must carry out stress tests and scenario analyses appropriate to its business based on realistic adverse circumstances, and estimate

the financial resources needed

BIPRU 2.3.2 G8

IRRBB will normally be a major source of risk for a bank, building society (and investment firm with non-trading book >15% of total).

BIPRU 2.3.3G8

Interest rate risk can arise from:•

Mismatch of repricing periods (yield curve risk)•

Inaccurate hedging where the hedge reprices on a different basis

to the exposure (basis risk)

Uncertainties in the timing or occurrence of future transactions

(model risk)•

Early redemption of fixed rate products (embedded optionality risk)•

BIPRU 2.3.7R & 2.3.128

Requirement to stress test exposure to interest risk generally (annually) and to a 200bp parallel yield curve shift (at least 1/4ly)

Page 12: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Regulatory approach•

IRRBB will be one of the top three Pillar 2 risks on which supervisors will focus when reviewing an ICAAP.

The CRD’s

approach to assessment of risk is based principally on changes to economic value arising from a change in interest rates8Key test is whether a 200bp parallel yield curve shift in either

direction reduces economic value by >20% of capital resources

The FSA recognises that firms will normally measure their risks both from an earnings and an economic value perspective8Relative importance of these measures will vary from firm to

firm8Accept that measures to hedge earnings may increase

economic value at risk on an ongoing concern basis

Page 13: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Stress testing•

Sudden 200 bp parallel shift in both directions is at best a crude measure

FSA expects firms to apply stresses more relevant to the composition of their Non-Trading Book8Effect of earnings hedges may be neutralised in

assessing economic value at risk8Allowance may be made for behavioural expectations

Need to document key assumptions8FSA will particularly wish to understand basis for

behavioural adjustments

Page 14: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Proportionality•

IRRBB approach is as for other Pillar 2 risks:8Firms with relatively non-complex business profiles can

apply less sophisticated approaches to capturing and measuring their risks

8Larger and/or more complex firms may be expected to adopt more advanced modelling techniques, e.g.

Dynamic rather than static balance sheet modelling•

Simulation modelling to capture non-linear/option risks

Behavioural models to determine hedging strategies

Page 15: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Non-prescription•

FSA has not

sought to prescribe how IRRBB should be

measured, nor how capital should be attributed.8Such prescription would in their view be contrary to the

principles underlying Pillar 2 8A recent thematic review undertaken by the Risk Review

Department identified a range of approaches/market practices in this area

8However, the objective is still that risk should be measured & mitigated

Some overseas regulators are taking a different approach: e.g. APRA8Has chosen to include IRRBB within Pillar 18IRRBB models need to meet general and specific

requirements before approval is given for their use8Calibration is to 99% over a one year holding period

Page 16: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

From Pillar 1 to 3From Pillar 1 to 3Risk management process

Basle document (Jan ’96) –

spells out stress testing as one of the prerequisites for internal model approval

Capital viewed as the last line of defense in a bank. When risk management is insufficient, when reserves are exhausted, capital absorbs losses to prevent a bank’s failure.

But when capital runs out, the bank may become insolvent, leaving public authorities and taxpayers responsible for restoring depositors’

savings

The challenge is determining how much capital is sufficient•

Stress testing is considered to be an effective and necessary tool that complements statistical models for quantifying & monitoring risk

and capital adequacy

By its very nature, stress testing also sets a high qualitative and quantitative standard for risk management

Page 17: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

2. What is Stress Testing? 2. What is Stress Testing? (in banking)(in banking)

Stress testing refers to “the analytical process involved in subjecting a bank’s portfolio to a series of battery of tests, designed to study the performance of the bank’s portfolio under extreme adverse conditions

to generate the potential risk

measures under plausible events in abnormal markets”.

Page 18: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Definition Definition Key PointsKey Points

• Series of Battery of Tests

- More than 1 test or set of results

• Extreme Conditions

- Degree of severity critical

• Plausible Events in Abnormal Markets

- Unexpected and could have happened to competitors or in other countries

- Paradigm shift in global financial markets

- Historical (local) worst case

Expectations)Expectations)

What does the regulator hope to achieve?-

Able to understand mechanism through which stress develops, -

Able to implement measures when the effects of stress events evolve into a vicious circle involving the real economy, financial markets and the banking sector- etc……

What does the bank hope to achieve?-

Identify where the risk concentrations are?-

Understand impact on bank if biggest customers default?-

Impact on bank if historical worst-case scenario recur?-

Impact on bank if it is hit by a similar severe credit loss event that affected competitors in the past?- etc…..

Remarks by Governor Susan S. Bies At the Annual International Symposium on Derivatives and Risk Management, Fordham University School of Law, New York, New York October 8, 2002 Corporate Governance and Risk Management

I want to thank Dean Treanor

and Alan Rechtschaffen

for the invitation to participate in this timely symposium on corporate governance issues. When I joined the Federal Reserve Board of Governors last December, I knew I would be doing more than helping to set short-term interest rates. ……..

Another major category of risk is credit risk, which also has become much more quantified. ……

the borrower's likely exposure at the time of default, taking into consideration future draw-downs. The greater use of credit models in retail transactions provides a stronger framework to assess risk and ensure that pricing reflects credit quality. For consumer credit, however, models are less proven, since data

collection and loss estimates generally evolved after the 1990-91 recession and so have not been proven under stress conditions or for subprime

borrowers. Because many of these borrowers did not have significant access to credit in previous recessions, their ultimate default rate in the current cycle should help to validate the strength of the new statistical models. ………….

Page 34: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Where to Start?Where to Start?

First place to start is to examine the portfolio of weak assets–

findings arise from risk monitoring

The weak assets are typically the first to default

Then, proceed with all customer segments as during the Asian crisis, even highly-rated customers were affected

Page 35: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

What to Do?What to Do?•

With weak assets or customers, one stress test model (scenario) is for all of them to default

With the other customers including the highly rated ones, one possible scenario is to have all of them downgraded in credit quality by a few notches or severely downgraded to default status

Page 36: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

How to Do It?How to Do It?Perform the stress tests at the portfolio level:•

Using scenario analysis (multiple scenarios)

e.g. a scenario where all are downgraded with some defaulting or all defaulting,

etc. •

Performing sensitivity analysis within each scenario

e.g. varying severity of downgrades (one notch instead of 2 notches),

or increasing the PD or LGD for different customer rating,

etc.

Page 37: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Why Do It?Why Do It?I. Stress Tests will yield info about:•

Extent of unexpected loss based on different scenarios as well as degree of severity & risk drivers

II. The info above will help provide early warning signs •

of where the bulk of the likely credit risk exposures are going to come from and

III. Prepare the bank to strategize •

on how to avoid or minimize them in case they occur

Recession cycle: typically 2 years or more•

Default likelihood of counterparties or obligors: usually not within the 1st

year of getting the loan

Before embarking on stress testing, what are the lessons?•

Data history •

NPL, PD & LGD definitely increase in recessionary times •

Consider stress testing at every stage of credit risk management

process, including credit assessment & application stage (e.g. cutoff/limit at credit scoring), etc.

Relevance: Europe-centric events (Euro crisis) may not apply in Asia

Realistic: Hypothetical Scenarios should be plausible in local context, e.g., LTCM-type loss events may not be applicable to some Asian markets

Reliable & Readily Available Database: The Scenario chosen should be one where the institution is able to collate and analyze the data pertaining to it

Reliability of DataReliability of Data•

Stress Testing involves the use of models based on unexpected events on a practical basis

Documentation and Access to database is important

Data should be sufficient to capture the downside change as well as the pre-event and post-event dynamics so that the critical risk factors are also captured

Choice of risk factors in determining the explanatory power

Page 53: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Survey Portfolio & EnvironmentSurvey Portfolio & EnvironmentPreliminary work necessary:•

Management & personnel in bank involved in stress-testing have to arrive at a consensus regarding the scenario or series of scenarios to be “stressed”,

• An agreed upon “benchmark”

which can

also be used in subsequent studies, e.g. historical worst-case scenario and to help define the KRIs

for future

benchmarking

Page 54: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Identify Risk FactorsIdentify Risk Factors•

This process will go hand-in-hand with the model and scenario chosen

Different types of risk factors may suit different economic environments or types of stress tests, e.g.,

-

with Asian financial crisis, risk factors could be market factors like interest rates, and currency exchange fluctuations

-

with dotcom bust, default probabilities, corporate bankruptcies or unemployment figures could be used as risk factors

Page 55: Rma May22 Stress Testing In The Context Of Icaap

Construct Stress TestsConstruct Stress Tests•

Once the basic prerequisites are satisfied: scenario chosen, KRFs

defined, relevant

data collated•

Next step is to construct the stress test based on the above in terms of dimensions of evaluation and interpretation of results

Other ConsiderationsOther Considerations•

It is also important to conduct stress tests based on assumptions that are less complicated for management buy-in.

Also, the stress test results ideally should yield, other than the “loss amount”, information about say, the key risk drivers or factors that have a high explanatory power, i.e., they can explain the loss of the worst-case scenario up to a high degree –

see example

Stress Tests also yield different loss amounts based on degree of severity

Liquidity Risk Mitigation

Integration-Centric Approach

Whether it is SOX, Basel II, International Accounting Standards (IAS), etc., integrating information in support of compliance is not a one-off proposition.

Compliance requires ongoing and constant enforcement. •

It’s never a matter of simply checking a box and then moving to another project. •

Compliance-driven requirements are usually phased in, evolve constantly, and invariably become more complex and stringent over time.

An integration-centric approach enhances the flexibility, and thus the value, of such an architecture because you can design the data integration capabilities necessary to meet whatever happens regulation wise.

You have a supple, adaptable and (over time) familiar framework for integrating new data and types of data in new ways.

In contrast, a non-integration-centric approach means having to recollect data for each new compliance mandate that comes along.

An integration-centric approach allows institutions to standardize their risk language in terms of the underlying Basel II risk-compliance categories or items and the overlapping risk parameters in the context of associated regulations (SOX, IAS, etc.)

helps in measurement of remaining liquidity gap after liabilities renewed or removed

• Asset liquidation & counter-balancing -

- asset quality affects speed of liquidation
