Scenario Severity

From Open Risk Manual

Scenario Severity

Scenario Severity in a Bank Stress Testing context denotes the degree of deterioration of the Scenario expressed in terms of the underlying macroeconomic and financial variables (or any other assumptions) [1]

The greater the severity of the scenario, in general, the larger the impact of the Stress Test on the firm, thereby determining the actual Severity of the Stress Test
