Story details

The Federal Reserve Board said on 30 September it had finalised two changes to its large-bank stress-test framework. The Board said the rules aim to improve transparency and public accountability and reduce volatility in stress-test-related capital requirements.

The Fed also requested comment on a proposal to better reflect differences in banks’ fee-income business models under stress. That proposal would replace the existing noninterest-income model if adopted. The final rules are largely similar to proposals issued in 2025.
