The Federal Reserve Board’s annual stress test results reveal that large banks are expected to face nearly $685 billion in projected losses during a severe recession scenario. These losses are significantly higher than last year due to increased risks in bank balance sheets and higher expenses. The aggregate common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio for the 31 banks tested is projected to decline from 12.7% to 9.9%. The hypothetical scenario, which includes a severe global recession, substantial declines in real estate prices, and a sharp rise in unemployment, has exposed vulnerabilities. Contributing factors to the larger capital decline include higher credit card balances with increased delinquency rates, riskier corporate credit portfolios, and elevated expenses. Additionally, an exploratory analysis identified further risks, highlighting potential negative impacts on the broader banking system, although it did confirm the banks’ ability to remain above minimum capital requirements.
