Conducting stress testing regularly has become a central tool for enhancing the resilience and stability of the banking system. Considering the many aspects of stress testing, the IFSB Secretariat invites you to participate in two- days e-workshop dedicated to this topic. During the two-day workshop, the IFSB facilitator will present an overview for stress testing in the Islamic finance industry and the basic requirements and methodologies for these tests within Islamic banks. This will be followed by an introduction to solvency and liquidity stress tests and a sample case study. The deeper understanding for stress testing through this workshop should enable participants to better apply their knowledge and understand stress testing principles and their applications. ***REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR MEMBERS ONLY***
