Prometeia's Insights: The 2018 EBA/ECB stress test

On January 31st, the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) released the macroeconomic scenarios for the EU-wide stress tests.

This white paper focuses on examining the EBA-ECB scenarios. It further explores a possible approach to manage the sensitivities of risk parameters to these given scenarios.
