The U.S. Federal Reserve on Thursday released the hypothetical economic strains they will use to test the strength of big bank finances in its 2023 stress test, and floated the possibility of using multiple scenarios in the future.
In a statement, the Fed said this year's test will include a new "exploratory market shock" for the eight largest banks, which will not affect their capital requirements but will further detail their resilience, as well as help the Fed decide whether it should pursue multiple test scenarios in future years.
The annual exam of bank health, in which the Fed sees how banks perform against a potential severe economic downturn, has become a critical event for large firms. How well they perform directly dictates how much capital they need to set aside as a cushion. The 2023 version will include a severe recession with heightened stress in both commercial and residential real estate markets and corporate debt markets. Banks with large trading operations will also be tested against a global market shock, as the Fed has done in years prior.
