Financial Stability Assessment and Stress Testing

Financial stability is a primary mandate for central banks, requiring constant vigilance against systemic risks that can threaten the entire financial system. This comprehensive course is designed to equip participants with the analytical frameworks and practical tools necessary to assess and monitor financial stability effectively. A core focus will be on the methodology and application of **macroprudential stress testing**, a crucial technique used to measure the resilience of banks and the financial system as a whole to severe, but plausible, economic shocks. Participants will learn how to identify vulnerabilities, design stress scenarios, and interpret the results to inform policy action.
