• Key finding: The financial system may be stable or unstable given a microprudential stress test outcome, depending on its shock-amplifying tendency. Therefore, microprudential stress tests are poor predictors of stability and system-wide stress test are necessary.
Policy experiment 1: From Micro to Macro: A Macroprudential Overlay to the EBA 2018 Stress Test

Policy Experiment 2:`Usability’ of Buffers and Contagion
• Key finding: Systemic risk decreases in an increasing `usability’ of regulatory capital buffers.

Policy Experiment 3: Calibration of Buffers with System-Wide Stress Tests
Key finding: The size of regulatory buffers needed to confine systemic risk may be underestimated if calibrated with microprudential stress tests, which do not capture system-wide amplifications, rather than with system-wide stress tests.

• Key finding: Contagion mechanisms may mutually amplify systemic risk. The degree of amplification is heterogeneous in the market liquidity and differs among contagion mechanisms.
