STAT OF THE WEEK

US banks’ stress test accuracy worsens in DFAST 2024

US banks’ self-assessments of their stressed Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratios diverged from the US Federal Reserve’s predictions once again in the latest Dodd-Frank Act stress test. The eight US G-Sibs and Northern Trust’s projections for their peak-to-trough depletions were, on average, 132bp off those calculated by the Fed. 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“[The NAIC] is concerned about what they regard as regulatory arbitrage, that is, the use of offshore reinsurance to take advantage of more relaxed capital and reserve requirements” – Daniel Rabinowitz, Kramer Levin
