Federal Reserve Board announces that results from its annual bank stress test will be released on Wednesday, June 24, at 4 p.m. EDT.

The Federal Reserve Board will release results from its annual bank stress test on June 24 at 4 p.m. EDT, the agency announced. The results will not affect large bank capital requirements, which are set to remain unchanged until 2027.

The Board's stress test is one tool used to measure whether banks have adequate capital to absorb losses and continue lending to households and businesses during a severe recession ^[1]. This year, 32 large banks were subject to the test, which evaluates resilience by estimating losses, net revenue, and capital levels under a hypothetical recession scenario ^[1]. The scenario includes a severe global recession with heightened stress in commercial and residential real estate markets, as well as in corporate debt markets ^[1]. The Board announced in February that it would maintain the current stress test capital buffer requirements until 2027, when new requirements can be calculated based on loss-estimating models that incorporate public feedback ^[1].

In a separate action, the Federal Reserve Board announced a final rule establishing data standards for certain information collections submitted to the agency ^[2]. The final rule is generally similar to the proposal released in August 2024 ^[2]. The standards are designed to promote interoperability of financial regulatory data across agencies and are part of the implementation of the Financial Data Transparency Act of 2022 ^[2]. The standards have been approved by several other federal financial regulatory agencies ^[2].
