SCR Exam - Question 16

Question

As climate change poses new financial risks to a central bank’s monetary policy operations, the bank decides to adapt operations with NGFS guidelines. Because the central bank does not include climate change in supervision practices, the bank consults subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop a proposal for central bank action on climate change. After completing the risk assessment, SMEs recommend the bank incorporate microprudential and macroprudential measures to embed climate change into supervision practices.

Which action are SMEs likely to recommend?

Examice · Accepted Answer

Conducting climate stress tests with standardized policy scenarios and feedback loops is likely a microprudential measure. This action directly embeds climate change into the bank's supervision practices by assessing financial institutions' resilience to climate risks under different hypothetical scenarios. Stress tests are a fundamental tool for evaluating the stability of individual banks and ensuring they can withstand adverse conditions, including those related to climate change.

Microprudential Measures :
on disclosure, the Bank expects firms to consider implementing disclosures on climate risk beyond mandatory requirements, suggesting TCFD rec-ommendations as a guideline.
