Bank liquidity stress testing, which has become de rigueur following the costly lessons of the
global financial crisis, remains underdeveloped compared to solvency stress testing. The
ability to adequately identify, model and assess the impact of liquidity shocks, which are
infrequent but can have a severe impact on affected banks and financial systems, is
complicated not only by data limitations but also by interactions among multiple factors. This
paper provides a conceptual overview of liquidity stress testing approaches for banks and
discusses their implementation by IMF staff in the Financial Sector Assessment Program
(FSAP) for countries with systemically important financial sectors over the last six years.
