CM-1.4.21
The approaches towards modelling stress tests include the following elements considered individually and on a combined basis as appropriate and with varying severity:
(a) Downgrading all borrowers by one rating class;
(b) Increasing default probabilities by a certain percentage;
(c) Increasing LGD by a certain percentage;
(d) Increasing EAD by a certain percentage for variable credit products (justification: customer s are likely to utilize credit lines more heavily in crisis situations, for example);
(e) Assumption of negative credit spread developments (e.g. parallel shifts in term structures of interest rates) for bond s;
(f) Modelling of input factors (e.g. balance sheet indicators).
