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 />
