Risk driver stress test 2023

  • Intensification of geopolitical tensions, partial de-globalisation
  • Gas supply cuts, higher commodity prices and wage increases via large second round effects leading to persistently high inflation
  • Higher current and expected inflation leading to higher interest rates, further exacerbating the contraction in output
  • Significant and abrupt price adjustment in the real estate market (approx. 30% discount) given a severe tightening in financing conditions and a weak economic outlook
  • Tighter financing conditions, deteriorated economic activity and high levels of government debt raising sovereign debt sustainability concerns

Aareal Bank's Results

  • Stressed CET1 ratio comfortably within 11-14% range above EBA / ECB (SSM) average (10.4%) and well above regulatory requirements
  • Stressed leverage ratio above 4%
