• Stress testing helps identify vulnerabilities in a financial system and allows institutions to take corrective actions to mitigate risks.
• CCAR (Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review) is an annual exercise by the Federal Reserve to assess the capital adequacy of large bank holding companies.
