GANs for Scenario Analysis and Stress Testing in Financial Institutions

Abstract This study investigates the utilization of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in constructing robust and realistic stress-testing scenarios for financial institutions. Stress testing has emerged as a pivotal regulatory necessity and risk management instrument in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis (Allen & Carletti, 2010) [1]. Conventional methods primarily rely on historical data or expert insights, which might not adequately account for novel but plausible crises (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, 2018) [2]. We introduce a groundbreaking framework that employs GANs to generate a diverse set of realistic stress scenarios, addressing the deficiencies of traditional methodologies. Our empirical findings indicate that GAN-derived scenarios can replicate extreme market conditions while ensuring internal coherence across various economic indicators. This proposed approach fortifies financial institutions by enabling them to anticipate and mitigate a wider range of potential financial disruptions than what historical data alone can provide. Extensive trials using real-world financial datasets reveal that our framework surpasses traditional methods in scenario realism and risk coverage metrics, offering financial entities a more robust tool for assessing systemic vulnerabilities.
