This study develops a framework for stress testing the credit exposures of Hong Kong's retail banks to macroeconomic shocks. Macro stress testing is performed with the framework to assess the vulnerability of banks' overall loan portfolios and mortgage exposures. A variety of shocks, similar to those occurred during the Asian financial crisis, are individually introduced into the framework for the tests.
