Introduction:

Stress testing represents a structured risk management function that evaluates the resilience of financial institutions under adverse economic and financial scenarios. Within Basel III frameworks, it supports capital adequacy, liquidity stability, and supervisory oversight through forward looking analytical models. This training program presents stress testing methodologies, scenario design frameworks, and regulatory structures aligned with Basel III requirements. It provides an institutional perspective on how financial institutions assess vulnerabilities, model stress scenarios, and strengthen stability through structured stress testing systems.
