Explanation:
A bank stress test is an analysis to determine whether a bank has enough capital to withstand an economic or financial crisis. A reverse stress test is a stress test that starts from the opposite end – by first identifying a pre-defined outcome and then tracing the steps/events that would culminate in that outcome. Banks use reverse stress testing to identify explore the fault lines in their business models that could threaten the bank’s existence and its ability to conduct business.
