Stress Testing Guidelines for Banks and Financial Institutions 2022
The Bank of Tanzania mandates all banks and financial institutions to implement a comprehensive stress testing framework that covers credit, interest rate, foreign exchange, and liquidity risks through quarterly sensitivity and scenario analyses. The guidelines require board and senior management oversight to develop baseline, adverse, and severe scenarios, while mandating quarterly reporting within 45 days alongside contingency planning to address identified vulnerabilities. Non-compliance or misrepresentation of stress test data incurs daily civil money penalties, ensuring rigorous risk assessment and capital adequacy across the financial sector.
