Summary: | This paper uses data on publicly listed
companies in Jordan to evaluate corporate vulnerability and
perform corporate stress testing. The exercise finds that
both earnings and interest rate shocks have significant
impact on corporate vulnerability. Because different banks
have different sector exposures, and different sectors
exhibit different vulnerability at different times, the
stress tests that include corporate exposure will provide a
more precise evaluation of bank soundness. |
