Fed Finalizes Stress-Test Changes
The changes could cut yearly volatility in stress-test capital requirements by half, the Fed said, while it seeks comment on a revised income model.
- On Wednesday, The Federal Reserve finalized two rules to increase transparency and reduce volatility in the bank stress-testing process. The Fed said the changes could cut in half yearly volatility in stress test-mandated capital requirements.
- Fed governors voted 6-1 to approve the measures, with Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman stating the changes preserve resilience by ensuring the test is transparent, granular, and risk-sensitive. Michael Barr, the former supervision czar, dissented.
- Banks will now be tested against two global market shock components annually, with results measured using the shock that creates the larger loss. The stress capital buffer will reflect the average of the last two annual tests.
- The American Bankers Association and Bank Policy Institute hailed the reproposal, stating that transparency and public input have produced a better framework improving accuracy and capital planning at covered banks.
