The Role of Stress-test Scenarios in Risk Management Activities and in the Avoidance of a New Crisis
Romanian Commercial Bank
Abstract. Stress-tests can increase the endurance of banks and
financial system when faced with crises especially during economic
growth periods, when they may accept higher risks more easily and
with lower prices. Their importance was revealed by the crisis
which has proven to be much more severe in terms of amplitude
than the worst scenarios used by banks.
The case study presented assessed the impact that the
deterioration of the main macroeconomic indicators might have

operational and market risks, upon its capital requirements,
provisions and the balance sheet.
Key words: stress-test; financial crisis; risk management; capital requirements; provisions.
