Stress testing frameworkQuantitative approachesDefinitionMethodologiesScenario design and risk factors2004 FSAP stress scenarios applied to the French banking systemF1 flattening of the yield curve due to an increase in interest rates:increase of 150 basis points (bp) in overnight rates, increase of 50 bpin 10-year rates, with interpolation for intermediate maturitiesF5 share price decline of 30% in all stock marketsF9 flattening of the yield curve (increase of 150 basis points in overnightrates, increase of 50 bp in 10-year rates) together with a 30% drop instock marketsM2 increase to USD 40 in the price per barrel of Brent crude for two years(an increase of 48% compared with USD 27 per barrel in the baselinecase), without any reaction from the central bank; the increase in theprice of oil leads to an increase in the general rate of inflation and adecline in economic activity in France together with a drop in globaldemandThierry RoncalliFinancial Risk Management (Lecture 11)11 / 45
