Overview: This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of macro stress-testing methodologies for financial systems.

However, a number of methodological challenges remain concerning the correlation of market and credit risks over time and across institutions, the limited time horizon generally used for the analysis and the potential instability of reduced-form parameter estimates because of feedback effects.
