This paper provides a stress-test template for financial supervisors to simulate potential losses on banks’ and insurers’ balance sheets under six different COVID-19 pandemic scenarios over the next 36 months.

It develops the nature of these scenarios and provides loss estimates that can be used as inputs to analysis of banks’ and insurers’ balance sheets. While valuation losses and credit spreads have already moved dramatically in the past month, this paper is not designed to recalculate what is already modelled, but rather provide a toolkit for financial supervisors and institutions to plan for different scenarios over the next 36 months.

2DII today announced it is transferring stewardship of the Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment (PACTA) to RMI, formerly Rocky Mountain Institute. PACTA measures financial portfolios' alignment with various climate scenarios, including those consistent with the Paris Agreement. Under RMI’s stewardship, PACTA will remain a free, independent, open-source methodology and tool, and will continue to provide the financial and supervisory community with forward-looking, science-based scenario analysis to help users make climate-aligned financing decisions. RMI will invest in scaling up PACTA’s usability and applicability in day-to-day investment decisions as well as reporting requirements.
