Circular to Banks Operating in the Kingdom

Greetings,

Based on the instructions for stress tests for banks operating in Jordan No. (2016/1) dated 2016/12/06, enclosed herewith are the sensitivity analysis tests and scenario tests that banks must conduct based on 2018/12/31 data. Sensitivity tests are to be applied at the level of the bank's branches in Jordan and at the consolidated data level, while scenario tests are to be applied only at the level of the bank's branches in Jordan. The results of the tests, filled according to the attached forms, must reach us by the end of April/2019 at the latest. The Central Bank will continue to provide banks with the required tests annually, taking into account risk developments at the local, regional, and international levels.

Please accept our highest regards,

Governor
Dr. Ziad Fariz
