EBA（欧州銀行機構）、2018年汎欧州ストレス・テストの結果を公表

As the central data hub for the entire EU, the EBA published the granular bank results, including detailed information at the starting and end point of the exercise, under both the baseline and the adverse scenarios.

Commenting on the outcome of the exercise, Mario Quagliariello, Director of Economic Analysis and Statistics at the EBA, said: "The outcome of the stress test shows that banks' efforts to build up their capital base in the recent years have contributed to strengthening their resilience and capacity to withstand the severe shocks and material capital impacts of the 2018 exercise. The results will be used by supervisors as part of their wider assessment of banks' vulnerabilities and input to their supervisory decisions".

One of the main features of the 2018 exercise is the implementation of the IFRS 9. Banks provided the starting point according to actual figures at the end of 2017 and IFRS 9 restated figures. The negative impact of IFRS 9 first implementation on banks' aggregate common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio is -20 basis points (bps)* on a fully loaded basis, -10 bps on a transitional basis.

The aggregate impact of the adverse scenario, measured as the difference between the starting CET1 ratios under the IFRS 9 restated positions and the CET1 ratios projected at the end of the stressed period, is -395 bps on a fully loaded basis (-410 bps on a transitional basis). At the end of 2020, in the adverse scenario, banks' aggregate CET1 capital ratio is 10.1% fully loaded (10.3% transitional).

The overall impact is due to a capital depletion of EUR 226bn, and to an increase of the total REA of EUR 1,049bn. Other specific risk drivers contributing to the overall impact on CET1 capital ratio on a fully loaded basis include:

• Credit risk losses of EUR 358bn contribute by -425 bps;
• Operational risk losses, including conduct risk, of EUR 82bn contribute by -100 bps;
• Market risk losses, including CCR, of EUR 94bn and contribute by -110 bps.

The final CET1 capital ratio is also affected by the cumulative decrease of the main sources of banks' income over the adverse scenario compared to the starting point.

The 2018 EU-wide stress test does not contain a defined pass/fail threshold. However, the exercise is an important supervisory tool and an input for the Pillar 2 assessment of banks. The results of the stress test will assist Competent Authorities in assessing banks' ability to meet applicable prudential requirements under the stress scenario and form a solid ground for discussion between the supervisor and the individual banks.
