Reporting <strong>and</strong> Countermeasures<br />

Once the stress tests have been carried out, it is necessary to report the results<br />

to the relevant levels of management. In this context, it is crucial to present<br />

only those results which are truly decisive. Such reports should cover the results<br />

of routine stress tests as well as those of new tests based specifically on the prevailing<br />

economic situation. The targeted selection of decisive results will also<br />

facilitate the process of developing countermeasures. In order to derive countermeasures<br />

from stress tests, the tests have to be designed in such a way that<br />

they enable causal analysis.<br />

Adaptation <strong>and</strong> Ongoing Development of Stress Tests<br />

As the portfolio composition as well as economic <strong>and</strong> political conditions<br />

change constantly, it is also necessary to adapt stress tests on an ongoing basis.<br />

This point is decisive in ensuring plausible results from which suitable countermeasures<br />

can be derived.<br />
