Recognizing Early Stage, FSB Still Slams Climate Stress Scenario Analytics

In collaboration with the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), the FSB today concluded that risk exposures and vulnerabilities may be underestimated under current climate-stress scenarios because metrics fail to capture second-round effects, potential climate non-linearities, risk-management costs and externalities, and asset-price corrections triggered by transition shocks.  Further, while orderly scenarios do not yield severe impacts, disorderly scenarios and scenarios involving no financial system transition accompanied by high medium- to long-term physical risks correlate with significant GDP and financial losses.  As a result, the FSB determines that, although the impact of climate risk is concentrated in certain sectors and currently contained from a domestic financial perspective, tail risks may pose notable resilience threats.

FRBNY Launches CBDC Feasibility Project

Advancing more of the U.S. CBDC infrastructure, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York today announced that its Innovation Center (NYIC) will engage in a proof-of concept project testing the technical, legal, and business feasibility of distributed ledger technology to settle financial institution liabilities through transfer of central bank liabilities.  Work includes collaboration between NYIC and private sector organizations and will harness simulated data to explore the feasibility of central bank wholesale and commercial digital money interoperating on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger, but will not advance policy outcomes or signal imminent Federal Reserve CBDC adoption or design specifications.
