In line with the Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD), these Guidelines will promote the quality and the consistency of these stress tests. The resulting data will also facilitate future peer reviews by the European Banking Authority (EBA), contributing to a safe and sound EU framework for the benefit of depositors and financial stability.
The Guidelines lay down basic methodological principles for all stress tests run by DGSs in the EU, including the various stages to be completed, the scenarios simulated and the areas and indicators to be measured. In addition, they establish a small core of harmonised priority tests to be run by DGSs and reported to the EBA with a view to running a comparable EU-wide peer review. The first stress test should take place by 3 July 2017.
With a view to contributing to the first EBA peer review foreseen in 2020, DGSs should test a broad range of operational and funding capabilities, which will cover key areas and main functions activated when a DGS intervenes. DGSs will be requested to report their results on these priority tests by 3 July 2019. The results should provide information for a first meaningful EU-wide overview of the resilience of DGSs.
