Fed Relieves Major U.S. Banks of Qualitative Stress Tests
Having witnessed improvements in the capital planning of major banks, the Federal Reserve has agreed to release them from the “qualitative” portion of annual stress test regime from 2019 onward.
The qualitative screening of banks is focused on whether they are able to determine the appropriate amount of capital required in the future. Upon failing the test, the banks had to resubmit revised capital distribution plans for approval.
Notably, qualitative objection was the area where most banks had faltered previously. The Fed noted that the qualitative screening will still be applicable to the U.S. subsidiaries of five foreign banks — Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn), Credit Suisse Group AG, UBS Group AG, Barclays (LON:BARC) Plc and Toronto-Dominion Bank.
These foreign banks are required to clear the test four times before being released, i.e. until 2020, except TD Bank, which just needs to successfully clear the current year’s stress test.
Notably, the relaxing stress test scenario comes as a respite for the remaining 13 major banks such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citigroup. All these stocks currently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see Zacks Investment Research
