Explanation:
According to Basel 2.5, Stressed VaR is calculated by identifying a one-year period (equivalent to 250 trading days) from the most recent seven years that was most stressful for a bank's current portfolios. This period is identified based on the bank's current risk profile and the historical market conditions during that year. The Stressed VaR is then calculated using the risk factors and market data from this identified stressful period. This approach ensures that the bank's capital requirement is sufficient to cover potential losses under extreme market conditions similar to those experienced during the identified stressful year.
