Stress Testing
The regular stress testing enables evaluation of NCC’s readiness in extreme but plausible market
conditions and improves the decision-making process of NCC’s management bodies.
Stress testing procedure and use of its results:
1.Estimating total and Tier 1 capital adequacy for risk covering purposes;
2.The following risks are covered by stress-tests:
 central counterparty risk (losses from the default of participants with largest credit exposures);
 liquidity risk;
 credit risk;
 market risk;
3.Recommendations to NCC management bodies regarding maintenance of capital adequacy via setting limits on the
NCC’s investment, the structure of assets accepted as a collateral and risk parameters of the exchange-based markets;
4.Recommendations to NCC management bodies regarding capital structure and profit allocation;
5.Scenario analysis based on historical scenarios (financial crises) and hypothetical scenarios;
6.Quantitative assessment of risks in extreme but plausible market conditions.

Compliance with Recommendations for CCPs

Recommendations for Central Counterparties developed by the CPSS/IOSCO.
• The self-assessment demonstrates that NCC’s operation as central counterparty on the whole
complies with the current international standards
NCC membership in the Associations made it possible:
•
For the NCC Risk Management System to be recognized consistent with international standards and
recommendations of the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems of the Bank for
International Settlements and International Organization of Securities Commissions;
•
Participation of NCC in development of international standards and rules of CCP functioning, constant
self-assessment of the bank and ensuring its consistency with the international standards under
development helps to their implementation on the Russian financial market and to building-up of
International financial centre in Russia.
