Supervisory Baseline, Adverse, and
Severely Adverse Scenarios
The Federal Reserve Board's rules implementing the
stress testing requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DFA)
require the Board to provide at least three different
sets of scenarios, including baseline, adverse, and
severely adverse scenarios, for both supervisory and
company-run stress tests. This publication provides a
description of the supervisory scenarios that should
be used (1) for the current stress test cycle under the
Board's stress test rules, and (2) in connection with
capital plans due January 7, 2013, under the Board's
capital plan rule (see instructions for the 2013 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and
the 2013 Capital Plan Review (CapPR) at www
.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/ccar.htm).
It is important to note that the adverse and severely
adverse scenarios are not forecasts, but rather are
hypothetical scenarios designed to assess the strength
of banking organizations and their resilience to adverse
economic environments. Further, the baseline scenario
follows a contour very similar to the average projections from surveys of economic forecasters and does
not represent the outlook of the Federal Reserve.
All scenarios start in the fourth quarter of 2012
(2012:Q4) and extend through the fourth quarter of
2015 (2015:Q4). The three scenarios are defined over
26 variables. In its description of domestic economic
conditions, each scenario includes the following:
• Six measures of economic activity and prices: real
and nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the
unemployment rate of the civilian non-institutional
population aged 16 and over, real and nominal disposable personal income, and the Consumer Price
Index (CPI)
• Four aggregate measures of asset prices or financial conditions: indexes of house prices, commercial property prices, and equity prices, and U.S.
stock-market volatility
CapPR firms are required to use baseline and severely adverse
scenarios only.[endoffootnote.]

[footnote] 1

• Four measures of interest rates: the rate on the
three-month Treasury bill; the yield on the 10-year
Treasury bond; the yield on a 10-year BBB corporate security; and the interest rate associated with a
conforming, conventional, fixed-rate, 30-year
mortgage
For the international variables, each scenario includes
three variables in four countries/country blocks:
• The three variables for each country/country block
are the annualized percent change in real GDP, the
annualized percent change in the CPI or local
equivalent, and the U.S. dollar/foreign currency
exchange rate.
• The four countries/country blocks included are the
euro area, the United Kingdom, developing Asia,
and Japan. The euro area is defined as the 17 European Union member states that have adopted the
euro as their common currency, and developing
Asia is defined as the nominal GDP-weighted
aggregate of China, India, Hong Kong SAR, and
Taiwan.
These 26 variables are the same as those that were
provided last year by the Federal Reserve for CCAR
2012. In addition, the Federal Reserve provided historical time series of these variables in early October
and is providing updated historical time series
accompanying the scenarios (see www.federalreserve
.gov/bankinforeg/stress-tests-capital-planning.htm).
The following sections describe the broad contours of
the baseline scenario, the adverse scenario, and the
severely adverse scenario. The specific values for all
variables included in the scenarios are shown in this
document and are also provided as an Excel spreadsheet on the Board's website at www.federalreserve
.gov/bankinforeg/stress-tests-capital-planning.htm.
Further, the Federal Reserve is providing a qualitative
summary of the global market shocks that will be
provided to some firms with significant trading activity. These firms will be required to apply the global

market shocks to their trading and counterparty
positions as of November 14, 2012.

Supervisory Baseline Scenario
The baseline scenario follows a contour very similar
to the average projections from surveys of economic
forecasters. For example, the outlook for real activity
and inflation in the baseline is in line with the october 2012 and November 2012 consensus projections
from Blue Chip Economic Indicators. The baseline
scenario does not represent the forecast of the Federal Reserve.
The baseline scenario for the United States shows a
moderate expansion in economic activity. Real GDP
increases, on average, 23/4percent per year over the
scenario horizon, and the unemployment rate edges
down in 2013 and falls slowly to 63/4percent by the
end of 2015. The CPI increases, on average, about
21/4percent per year over the scenario horizon.
Consistent with the moderate pace of economic
activity, equity prices increase about 51/2percent per
year and equity-market volatility remains low. Nominal house prices increase a bit less than 3 percent per
year, on average, over the scenario. Commercial real
estate prices increase 5 percent in 2013 and then
3 percent per year in the remainder of the scenario.
Short-term Treasury rates in the baseline scenario
remain near zero through 2013 before increasing
about 20 basis points per quarter and reaching nearly
2 percent by year-end 2015. This path is consistent
with the average projections from surveys of economic forecasters. Long-term Treasury yields move
up steadily over the scenario horizon from their current level near 13/4percent to 4 percent by the end of
2015. Consistent with the strengthening economy, the
BBB corporate spread narrows about1/2percentage
point over the scenario horizon; as a result, corporate
yields increase by a bit less than similar-maturity
Treasury yields. Likewise, mortgage rates also move
up somewhat less than the increase in Treasury yields.
For international variables, the baseline outlook is
similar to that reported in the November 2012 Blue
Chip Economic Indicators and the International
Monetary Fund's September 2012 World Economic
Outlook.
The baseline scenario for activity, inflation, and
exchange rates outside the United States is character-

ized by a subdued expansion, albeit with some more
notable near-term weakness in the euro area. In particular, real GDP in the euro area contracts1/2percent in 2012:Q4 and increases only1/4percent in
2013. Economic activity increases slowly in the euro
area in 2014 and 2015, advancing about 1 percent
each year.

Supervisory Adverse Scenario
The adverse scenario is characterized by a weakening
in economic activity across all of the economies
included in the scenario combined with a sudden rise
in domestic inflation that brings about a rapid
increase in short- and long-term interest rates. It is
important to note that this scenario is not a forecast,
but rather is a hypothetical scenario designed to
assess the strength of banking organizations and
their resilience to an adverse economic environment.
The adverse scenario features a moderate recession in
the United States that begins in the fourth quarter of
2012 and lasts until early 2014; during this period,
the level of real GDP declines 2 percent, and the
unemployment rate rises to 93/4percent. CPI inflation
picks up considerably over this period and reaches
4 percent by the middle of 2013. Equity prices fall
25 percent by the middle of 2013, and correspondingly, the equity market volatility index jumps to over
40 at the start of the scenario. House prices decline
more than 6 percent during 2013, and commercial
real estate prices fall 41/2percent during 2013.
Reflecting rising inflation, short-term interest rates
rise quickly in this scenario, reaching 21/2percent by
the end of 2013. The yield on the long-term Treasury
note increases by less but still rises above 31/2percent
by the end of next year; thus, the yield curve is both
higher and flatter in 2013. Corporate borrowing rates
also move significantly higher, to more than 7 percent
by the end of 2013, despite only a modest increase in
spreads. Mortgage rates also rise in 2013.
With interest rates elevated, the recovery that begins
in 2014 is quite sluggish, and real GDP rises just
1 percent that year and only 21/4percent over 2015.
The subpar expansion means that the unemployment
rate rises for the remainder of the scenario, reaching
10 percent at the end of 2015.
The international component of the adverse scenario
features recessions in the euro area, the United Kingdom, and Japan in the early part of the horizon and,

over the same period, below-trend growth in developing Asia.
Weaker economic activity results in deflation in the
United Kingdom and Japan, although the price
declines are much steeper and persist longer in Japan.
In this scenario, the yen, the pound, and the currencies of the developing economies of Asia appreciate
sharply against the dollar early in the period, as foreign investors reduce their exposures to dollardenominated assets. The value of the dollar against
the euro is relatively steady over the scenario horizon.

Supervisory Severely Adverse
Scenario
The severely adverse scenario is characterized by a
substantial weakening in economic activity across all
of the economies included in the scenario. In addition, the scenario features a significant further weakening in the U.S. housing market. It is important to
note that this scenario is not a forecast, but rather is
a hypothetical scenario designed to assess the
strength of banking organizations and their resilience
to a severely adverse economic environment.
In the United States, the severely adverse scenario
features a severe recession, with the unemployment
rate increasing 4 percentage points from current levels (an amount similar to that in severe contractions
over the past half-century). Notably, the unemployment rate remains above any level experienced over
the last 70 years from the middle of 2013 to the end
of the scenario.
Real GDP declines nearly 5 percent between the third
quarter of 2012 and the end of 2013; over this
period, the unemployment rate rises to nearly 12 percent, and the four-quarter percent change in the CPI
decelerates to 1 percent. Equity prices fall more than
50 percent over the course of the recession and, correspondingly, the equity market volatility index
jumps above 70 at the start of the scenario. House
prices decline more than 20 percent by the end of
2014, and commercial real estate prices fall by a similar amount.
Short-term interest rates remain near zero through
2015. The yield on the long-term Treasury note
declines to 11/4percent in 2013 before edging up
about 1 percentage point by the end of 2015. Spreads

on corporate bonds ramp-up to 550 basis points over
the course of 2013. As a result, despite lower longterm Treasury yields, corporate borrowing rates rise
and reach a peak of 63/4percent in mid-2013. Mortgage rates also increase during 2013. A slow recovery
takes hold in 2014, and real GDP expands 21/4percent that year and 41/2percent in 2015.
The international component of the severely adverse
scenario features recessions in the euro area, the
United Kingdom, and Japan and below-trend growth
in developing Asia. The euro area slips into recession
in the fourth quarter of 2012 and remains in this
state until the end of 2013. During this period, the
level of euro area real GDP contracts a total of
53/4percent. In the United Kingdom, the recession
also begins in the fourth quarter of 2012 and also
lasts a bit over one year, during which period real
GDP declines a total of 4 percent.
In all three advanced economies, the recoveries that
follow their recessions are sluggish: In the euro area
and the United Kingdom, real GDP growth averages
only 11/2percent per year over 2014 and 2015; in
Japan, real GDP increases at a similarly modest pace,
although only for the last six quarters of the scenario.
In developing Asia, real GDP growth returns to trend
by the end of 2013 and averages just above trend over
2014 and 2015.
In the severely adverse scenario, the U.S. dollar
appreciates relative to the euro and the currencies of
developing Asia and depreciates relative to the yen.
The severely adverse scenario is similar to the 2012
CCAR supervisory stress scenario, which was
released in November 2011. The main qualitative difference between this year's supervisory severely
adverse scenario and last year's supervisory stress
scenario is a much more substantial slowdown in
developing Asia. In particular, the 2012 CCAR
supervisory stress scenario featured developing Asia
experiencing only a moderate slowing in economic
activity, largely in response to the severe global recession occurring in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the euro area. In this year's severely
adverse scenario, the economic slowdown in developing Asia also has a domestic element; in particular,
the slowdown in activity in developing Asia also
includes a sharp slowdown in economic activity in
China that has substantial spillovers to activity in the
rest of developing Asia. This feature of the scenario
is designed to assess the effect on large U.S. banks of

the important downside risks to the global economic
outlook that could result from a sizeable weakening
of economic activity in China.

scenarios designed to assess the strength and resilience of banking organizations in adverse market
environments.

Global Market Shock Components
for Adverse and Severely Adverse
Scenarios

The global market shock component for the severely
adverse scenario features market movements that
generally mirror the experience in the second half of
2008, but it also incorporates hypothetical euro-zonebased shocks, including sharp increases in certain
government yields, widening corporate spreads and
sovereign credit default swap (CDS) spreads, and
large depreciation in the euro against major currencies. While these shocks are felt across the euro zone
in the scenario, the severity of the shocks varies
across countries within the euro zone, with more pronounced effects on peripheral countries.

By December 1, 2012, the Federal Reserve will provide certain firms with global market shock components of supervisory adverse and severely adverse
scenarios to be used (1) for the current stress test
cycle under the Board's stress test rules, and (2) in
connection with capital plans due in January 2013
under the Board's capital plan rule. Under the DFA
stress testing rules, these components apply only to
large, complex institutions with significant trading
activity.
The global market shock components are one-time,
hypothetical shocks to a large set of risk factors.
Generally, these shocks involve large and sudden
changes in asset prices, rates, and spreads, reflecting
general market dislocation and heightened uncertainty. It is important to note that global market
shocks included in adverse and severely adverse scenarios are not forecasts, but rather are hypothetical

The global market shock component for the severely
adverse scenario is similar to the 2012 CCAR supervisory stress scenario. The main difference between
the two is in the way specific euro-zone-based shocks
are calibrated, with this year's global market shock
component for the severely adverse scenario having a
sharper differentiation in the severity of shocks for
certain risk factors between the core and peripheral
countries than the 2012 CCAR supervisory stress
scenario.

The global market shock component for the adverse
scenario includes asset price, rate, and spread
The global market shock component includes shocks to a large changes that are generally more muted than the secnumber of risk factors that include a wide range of financial

component also features a broad increase in U.S.
