1. When assessing the adequacy of the reverse stress testing scenarios referred to in Article 325bi(1), point (g), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, competent authorities shall verify whether:
|
(a)
|
the risk control unit applies the reverse stress test as a tool to identify possible combinations of severe events and risk concentrations within the institution, including severe events and risk concentrations that derive from environmental risks;
|
|
(b)
|
the analysis performed with the reverse stress test complements the regular stress testing;
|
|
(c)
|
when identifying the scenario or scenarios resulting from reverse stress testing, the risk control unit assesses:
|
(i)
|
the business lines where traditional risk management models indicate an exceptionally good trade-off between risk and return;
|
|
(ii)
|
new products and new markets which have not experienced severe strains;
|
|
(iii)
|
exposures where there are no liquid two-way markets;
|
|
(iv)
|
foreign exchange exposures either pegged or subject to a cap or floor to other currencies;
|
|
(v)
|
positions in deep out-of-the-money options, in particular digital options;
|
|
(vi)
|
events not considered in the stress period used to calibrate the expected shortfall risk measures referred to in Article 325bb of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013;
|
|
(vii)
|
environmental risks in the form of both physical and transition risks.
