The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued this letter to announce the upcoming update of Supervisory Policy Manual module IC-5 to align with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's 2018 Stress testing principles. The regulator requires authorized institutions to immediately review and strengthen their stress testing frameworks and practices in light of these new international standards.
