Introduction

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act requires the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (Board) to conduct an
annual supervisory stress test of bank holding companies (BHCs) with $50 billion or greater in total
consolidated assets (large BHCs), and to require
BHCs and state member banks with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion to conduct
company-run stress tests at least once a year.1 This
publication describes the three supervisory scenarios—baseline, adverse, and severely adverse—that

the Board will use in its supervisory stress test; that a
BHC or state member bank must use in conducting
its annual company-run stress test for this stress test
cycle; and that a large BHC must use to estimate projected revenues, losses, reserves, and pro forma capital levels as part of its capital plan submission.2 The
publication also details additional components that
certain BHCs will be required to incorporate into the
supervisory scenarios—the global market shock component and the counterparty default component.

Supervisory Scenarios

The adverse and severely adverse scenarios describe
hypothetical sets of conditions designed to assess the
strength of banking organizations and their resilience
to adverse economic environments. The scenarios are
not forecasts. The baseline scenario follows a similar
profile to the average projections from surveys of economic forecasters. It does not represent the forecast of
the Federal Reserve.3
The scenarios start in the fourth quarter of 2014
(2014:Q4) and extend through the fourth quarter of
2017 (2017:Q4). Each scenario includes 28 variables;
this set of variables is the same as the set provided in
last year’s supervisory scenarios. The variables
describing economic developments within the United
States include:
• Six measures of economic activity and prices: percentage changes (at an annual rate) in real and
nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP); the
unemployment rate of the civilian non-institutional
population aged 16 years and over; percentage
changes (at an annual rate) in real and nominal disposable personal income; and the percentage
change (at an annual rate) in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI);
• Four aggregate measures of asset prices or financial
conditions: indices of house prices, commercial
property prices, equity prices, and U.S. stock market volatility; and,
• Six measures of interest rates: the rate on the
3-month Treasury bill; the yield on the 5-year
Treasury bond; the yield on the 10-year Treasury
bond; the yield on a 10-year BBB corporate security; the interest rate associated with a conforming,
conventional, fixed-rate 30-year mortgage; and the
prime rate.

• The three variables for each country or country
block: the percentage change (at an annual rate) in
real GDP, the percentage change (at an annual rate)
in the CPI or local equivalent, and the level of the
U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate.
• The four countries or country blocks included: the
euro area (the 18 European Union member states
that have adopted the euro as their common currency), the United Kingdom, developing Asia (the
nominal GDP-weighted aggregate of China, India,
South Korea, Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region, and Taiwan), and Japan.

Baseline, Adverse and Severely
Adverse Scenarios
The following sections describe the baseline scenario,
the adverse scenario, and the severely adverse
scenario.
The variables included in these scenarios are provided in tables at the end of this document. They can
also be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet (together
with the historical time series of the variables) from
the Board’s website, at www.federalreserve.gov/
bankinforeg/stress-tests-capital-planning.htm.

Baseline Scenario
The baseline scenario is very similar to the average
projections from surveys of economic forecasters.
For example, the outlook for U.S. real activity and
inflation in the baseline is in line with the October 2014 consensus projections from Blue Chip Economic Indicators.4

The variables describing international economic conditions in each scenario include three variables in
four countries or country blocks:

The baseline scenario for the United States (see
Table 1A) is for a sustained, moderate expansion in
economic activity. Real GDP grows at an average rate
of just under 3 percent per year over the scenario; the

Federal Reserve Supervisory Scenarios

unemployment rate declines modestly, reaching
5¼ percent by the end of the scenario in the fourth
quarter of 2017; and CPI inflation averages just over
2 percent per year.
Accompanying this moderate economic expansion is
a gradual normalization in Treasury yields across the
maturity spectrum. Short-term Treasury rates begin
to increase in the second quarter of 2015 and rise
steadily thereafter, reaching just over 3 percent by the
end of 2017. Five- and 10-year yields increase from
the start of the scenario period and reach 4 percent
and 4¼ percent, respectively, by the fourth quarter of
2017. Spreads on investment-grade corporate bonds
change little over the scenario period, as do spreads
on residential mortgages and other consumer loans.
As a result, yields on BBB-rated corporate bonds and
mortgage rates both increase roughly in line with
long-term Treasury yields, and the prime rate
increases roughly in line with short-term Treasury
rates.
Consistent with these developments, asset prices are
assumed to increase modestly in the baseline scenario. Equity prices, nominal house prices, and commercial property prices all rise steadily throughout
the scenario; in addition, equity market volatility is
assumed to remain at low levels.
The baseline outlook for the international variables
(see Table 1B) is similar to that reported in the October 2014 Blue Chip Economic Indicators and the
International Monetary Fund’s October 2014 World
Economic Outlook.5 The baseline scenario for economic activity and inflation outside the United States
features an expansion in activity, albeit one that proceeds at different rates across the four countries or
country blocks being considered. The outlook for
real GDP growth in developing Asia is 6¼ percent
per year; the expansion in real output in the United
Kingdom proceeds at 2½ percent per year; and real
GDP growth in the euro area and Japan is assumed
to average 1½ percent per year and 1¼ percent per
year, respectively.

Adverse Scenario
This year’s adverse scenario is characterized by a
global weakening in economic activity and an
increase in U.S. inflationary pressures that, overall,
result in a rapid increase in both short- and long5

See International Monetary Fund (2014), "World Economic
Outlook," www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2014/02.

term U.S. Treasury rates. In the scenario, bank funding costs react strongly to rising short-term rates, as
described in greater detail in “Additional Key Features of the Adverse Scenario.” This scenario is not a
forecast; rather, it is a hypothetical scenario designed
to assess the strength of banking organizations and
their resilience to an unfavorable economic
environment.
In the adverse scenario, the United States experiences
a mild recession that begins in the fourth quarter of
2014 and lasts through the second quarter of 2015
(see Table 2A). During this period, the level of real
GDP falls approximately ½ percent relative to its
level in the third quarter of 2014 and the unemployment rate increases to just over 7 percent. At the
same time, the U.S. economy experiences a considerable rise in core inflation that results in a headline
CPI inflation rate of 4 percent by the third quarter of
2015; headline inflation remains elevated thereafter.
Short-term interest rates rise quickly as a result,
reaching a little over 2½ percent by the end of 2015
and 5¼ percent by the end of 2017. Longer-term
Treasury yields increase by less, resulting in a yield
curve throughout the scenario period that is both
higher and flatter relative to the baseline. Corporate
financial conditions tighten, reflecting both higher
long-term Treasury yields and somewhat wider
investment-grade corporate bond spreads. Household
financial conditions are assumed to tighten broadly
in line with movements in similar-maturity Treasury
yields.
The recovery that begins in the second half of 2015 is
quite sluggish and the unemployment rate continues
to increase, reaching 8 percent in the fourth quarter
of 2016, and flattens thereafter. Equity prices fall
both during and after the recession and by the end of
the scenario are about 25 percent lower than in the
third quarter of 2014; equity market volatility also
rises somewhat. House prices and commercial real
estate prices decline by approximately 13 and 16 percent, respectively, relative to their level in the third
quarter of 2014.
Outside the United States, the adverse scenario features recessions in the euro area, the United Kingdom, and Japan, and below-trend growth in developing Asia (see Table 2B). This weakness in economic
activity results in a period of deflation for some
countries or country blocks: The euro area experiences modest price declines for the first year of the
scenario, and in Japan there is a sustained period of
deflation with price declines that are steeper than

October 23, 2014

those for the euro area. The exchange value of the
dollar is little changed vis-à-vis the euro, the pound
sterling, and the currencies of developing Asia relative to the baseline scenario; the dollar is assumed to
depreciate against the yen, reflecting flight-to-safety
capital flows.
This adverse scenario is qualitatively different from
last year’s adverse scenario released in November 2013.6 The main difference lies in the evolution of
Treasury yields; in particular, the adverse scenario
issued last year featured a general aversion of investors to long-term fixed-income assets worldwide that
in turn resulted in a sharp rise in long-term interest
rates and hence a steeper yield curve than in the corresponding baseline scenario. By contrast, in this
year’s adverse scenario, the hypothetical pick-up in
U.S. inflation results in a yield curve that is higher
and flatter than in the baseline. (This year’s adverse
scenario is broadly similar to the 2013 adverse scenario released in November 2012.7)
Additional Key Features of the Adverse Scenario. The
economic slowdown in the euro area should be interpreted as a broad-based contraction in euro-area
demand, rather than as a development that is concentrated in a few euro-area countries. Similarly, the
slowdown in developing Asia featured in this year’s
adverse scenario should be interpreted as a weakening in economic conditions across all emerging market economies and not simply as a phenomenon specific to the developing Asia region. Regarding property prices, the decline in aggregate U.S. house prices
described earlier should be viewed as particularly relevant for states or metropolitan areas that have experienced brisk gains in house prices during the past
couple of years. The decline in U.S. property prices
should be interpreted as being representative of risks
to property prices among those foreign economies
where property prices are currently elevated.
As described earlier, firms should interpret the rise in
short-term interest rates embodied in this year’s
adverse scenario as crystallizing certain risks to
banks’ funding costs. In particular, commercial
deposits should be viewed as being unusually drawn

to institutional money funds, which re-price promptly
in response to changes in short-term Treasury rates.
Consumer deposits should also be assumed to be
drawn to higher-yielding alternatives.

Severely Adverse Scenario
The severely adverse scenario features a substantial
weakening in global economic activity, accompanied
by large reductions in asset prices. In the scenario,
the U.S. corporate sector experiences increases in
financial distress that are even larger than would be
expected in a severe recession, together with a widening in corporate bond spreads and a decline in equity
prices. The scenario also includes a rise in oil prices
(Brent crude) to approximately $110 per barrel.
These elements of the scenario are described in
greater detail in “Additional Key Features of the
Severely Adverse Scenario.” As with the other scenarios described in this document, this scenario is
not a forecast, but rather a hypothetical sequence of
events designed to assess the strength of banking
organizations and their resilience to a severely
adverse economic environment.
The severely adverse scenario for the United States is
characterized by a deep and prolonged recession in
which the unemployment rate increases by 4 percentage points from its level in the third quarter of 2014,
peaking at 10 percent in the middle of 2016 (see
Table 3A). In terms of both the peak level reached by
the unemployment rate and its total increase, this
shock is of a similar magnitude to those experienced
in severe U.S. contractions during the past halfcentury. By the end of 2015, the level of real GDP is
approximately 4½ percent lower than its level in the
third quarter of 2014; it begins to recover thereafter.
Despite this decline in real activity, higher oil prices
cause the annualized rate of change in the CPI to
reach 4¼ percent in the near term, before subsequently falling back.
In response to this economic contraction—and
despite the higher near-term path of CPI inflation—
Treasury yields of all maturities are significantly
lower throughout the scenario than in the baseline.
Short-term interest rates remain near zero through
2017; long-term Treasury yields drop to 1 percent in
the fourth quarter of 2014 and then edge up slowly
over the remainder of the scenario period. Driven by
the assumed decline in corporate credit quality,
spreads on investment-grade corporate bonds jump
from about 170 basis points to 500 basis points at
their peak. As a result, despite lower long-term Treas-

6

Federal Reserve Supervisory Scenarios

ury yields, corporate financial conditions tighten significantly in 2015 and the yield on investment-grade
corporate bonds is higher than the baseline until the
fourth quarter of 2016. Mortgage rates also increase
over the course of 2015, driven by some widening in
spreads.
Consistent with these developments, asset prices contract sharply in the scenario. Equity prices fall by
approximately 60 percent from the third quarter of
2014 through the fourth quarter of 2015, and equity
market volatility increases sharply. House prices
decline by approximately 25 percent during the scenario period relative to their level in the third quarter
of 2014, while commercial real estate prices are more
than 30 percent lower at their trough.
The international component of the severely adverse
scenario (see Table 3B) features severe recessions in
the euro area, the United Kingdom, and Japan; and
below-trend growth in developing Asia. For economies that are heavily dependent on imported oil—including developing Asia, Japan, and the euro area—
this economic weakness is exacerbated by the rise in
oil prices featured in this scenario. The euro-area
recession begins in the fourth quarter of 2014, and
the economy continues to contract through the
fourth quarter of 2015; the level of euro-area real
GDP contracts by 5 percent during the recession.
The United Kingdom also experiences a recession in
2015 and its real GDP falls by almost 3½ percent
relative to the level in the third quarter of 2014. Economic activity is assumed to weaken materially for
two quarters in developing Asia before rebounding
strongly, while the adverse effects on Japanese real
GDP are assumed to persist so that the level of
Japan’s real GDP is approximately 10½ percent lower
by the end of the second quarter of 2016 than in the
third quarter of 2014.
Reflecting flight-to-safety capital flows associated
with the scenario's global recession, the U.S. dollar is
assumed to appreciate strongly against the euro and
the currencies of developing Asia, and to appreciate
more modestly against the pound sterling. The dollar
is assumed to depreciate modestly against the yen,
also reflecting flight-to-safety capital flows.
This year’s severely adverse scenario is similar to last
year’s severely adverse scenario released in November 2013.8 The significant differences from last year

Required under the Dodd-Frank Act Stress Testing Rules and

include the somewhat larger widening in corporate
bond spreads and the increase in the price of oil that
are assumed in this year’s scenario.
Additional Key Features of the Severely Adverse Scenario. As with the adverse scenario, the economic
slowdown in the euro area should be interpreted as a
broad-based contraction in euro-area demand, rather
than as a development concentrated in a few euroarea countries. In this year’s severely adverse scenario, part of the sharp slowdown in activity in
developing Asia reflects the region’s relatively high
degree of oil dependence. As such, not all of the
severe weakening in economic conditions in developing Asia is shared by other emerging market economies. As is the case for the adverse scenario, firms
should view the large decline in aggregate U.S. house
prices described in the severely adverse scenario as
being particularly relevant for states or metropolitan
areas that have experienced brisk gains in house
prices during the past couple of years, and the large
decline in U.S. property prices assumed in the scenario should be interpreted as being representative of
risks to property prices in those foreign economies
where property prices are elevated.
As mentioned earlier, in this year’s severely adverse
scenario, U.S. corporate credit quality deteriorates
sharply. As in last year's scenario, this deterioration is
particularly concentrated in riskier firms. Investors
pull back from a variety of assets linked to risky corporate borrowers and, in particular, highly leveraged
corporations. Spreads on assets linked to these corporations, particularly high-yield bonds, leveraged
loans, and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs)
backed by leveraged loans, widen to levels the same
as the peaks reached in the 2007–2009 recession.

Global Market Shock Components
for Supervisory Adverse and Severely
Adverse Scenarios
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, interest rates, and spreads,
reflecting general market dislocation and heightened

uncertainty.9 BHCs with significant trading activity
will be required to include the global market shock as
part of their supervisory adverse and severely adverse
scenarios.10 In addition, as discussed below, certain
large and highly interconnected BHCs must apply the
same global market shocks to their counterparty
exposures to project losses under the counterparty
default scenario component. The as-of date for the
global market shock is October 6, 2014. A BHC may
use data as of the date that corresponds to its weekly
internal risk reporting cycle as long as it falls during
the business week of the as-of date for the global
market shock (i.e., October 6, 2014 to October 10,
2014).
It is important to note that global market shocks
included in the adverse and severely adverse scenarios
are not forecasts, but rather are hypothetical scenarios designed to assess the strength and resilience
of banking organizations in the event of sudden and
significant deterioration in market environments.
The Federal Reserve will make the data for the global
market shock components available no later than
December 1, 2014.

Severely Adverse Scenario
The market shock component for the severely
adverse scenario is built around a sudden sharp
increase in general risk premiums and credit risk,
combined with significant market illiquidity, associated, in part, with the distress of one or more large
leveraged entities that rapidly sell a variety of assets
into an already fragile market. Under the scenario,
severe declines in the value of credit positions have
9

10

The global market shock components consist of shocks to a
large number of risk factors that include a wide range of financial market variables that affect asset prices, such as a credit
spread or the yield on a bond, and, also include, in some cases,
shocks to the value of the position itself (for example, the market value of private-equity positions).
For this cycle, six BHCs are subject to the global market shock
components: Bank of America Corporation; Citigroup Inc.;
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; JPMorgan Chase & Co.;
Morgan Stanley; and Wells Fargo & Company. See 12 CFR
252.54(b)(2)(i).

immediate implications for less liquid products as
investors attempt to rapidly exit these positions—specifically, private equity, securitizations, and exposures
to emerging markets. While most declines are comparable to those experienced in 2008, products with
favorable current market valuations are assumed to
experience greater declines. Notably, mortgagebacked securities are among the assets being liquidated by distressed, leveraged entities, causing significant increases in the option-adjusted spreads on
agency mortgage-backed securities.
Globally, government yield curves undergo marked
shifts in level and shape due to market participants’
risk aversion. The flight-to-quality pushes rates down
across the term structure in the United States and
certain European countries, while emerging markets
and countries that are part of the so-called European
periphery experience sharp increases in government
yields. The magnitudes of the increases in rates vary,
with jumps in European periphery spreads, and
emerging markets rates approximating the moves
experienced during periods of stress during 2011 and
2008, respectively. Countries that are affected by the
flight-to-quality also experience currency appreciation. Fears of a prolonged and potentially more
acute recession in Europe drive up sovereign CDS
spreads in a manner generally consistent with the
experience of 2011.

Adverse Scenario
The core of the global market shock component for
the adverse scenario consists of market shocks that
are, by and large, similar in structure, but not as
severe as those assumed in the severely adverse scenario. However, rates across the term structure in the
United States and Europe increase, as the flight to
quality mainly affects the short end of the yield curve
while an aversion to long-term assets prevails. In
addition, the increase in implied volatilities for equities is more subdued than what is typically associated
with the level of the equity price declines in the
adverse scenario.

8

Federal Reserve Supervisory Scenarios

Counterparty Default Component for
Supervisory Adverse and Severely
Adverse Scenarios
For CCAR 2015, certain large and highly interconnected firms must include a counterparty default scenario component in the adverse and severely adverse
scenarios.11 In connection with the counterparty
default scenario component, these BHCs will be
required to estimate and report the potential losses
and related effects on capital associated with the
instantaneous and unexpected default of the counterparty that would generate the largest losses across
their derivatives and securities financing activities,
including securities lending, and repurchase or
reverse repurchase agreement activities. The counterparty default scenario component is an add-on to the
macroeconomic conditions and financial market
11

Eight BHCs are subject to the counterparty default scenario
component: Bank of America Corporation; The Bank of New
York Mellon Corp.; Citigroup Inc.; The Goldman Sachs Group,
Inc.; JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Morgan Stanley; State Street
Corp.; and Wells Fargo & Company. See 12 CFR
252.54(b)(2)(ii).

environment specified in the Federal Reserve’s
adverse and severely adverse stress scenarios.
The counterparty default scenario component
involves the instantaneous and unexpected default of
the BHC’s largest counterparty.12 Each BHC’s largest counterparty will be determined by net stressed
losses; estimated by applying the global market shock
to revalue non-cash securities financing activity
assets (securities or collateral) posted or received; and
for derivatives, to the value of the trade position and
non-cash collateral exchanged. The as-of date for the
counterparty default scenario component is October 6, 2014—the same date as the global market
shock. As with the global market shock, a BHC may
use data as of the date that corresponds to its weekly
internal risk reporting cycle as long as it falls during
the business week of the as-of date for the counterparty default scenario component (i.e., October 6,
2014, to October 10, 2014).
12

In selecting its largest counterparty, a BHC will not consider
certain sovereign entities (Canada, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) or designated central clearing counterparties.
