Dairy stress tests - objectives
- How would the banks’ dairy sector asset
quality evolve under stress scenarios?
- How would banks respond to a rise in
defaults?
- Stress tests an input into bank risk
management.
Dairy sector debt
Dairy sector is around 10% of bank lending Debt levels remain elevated relative to incomes [Total banking system loans = $348 billion]

Three stages in the evolution of problem loans
Rating downgrade
- Assessed risk
increases.
- Profits decline
due to general provision.
- Required capital
increases. Default
- Breach of loan
agreement
- e.g. 90 days past
due.
- Profits decline
due to specific provision. Write-off
- Loan collateral is
sold.
- Could be
voluntary.
- Written off
balance sheet.
- Profits adjusted if
actual loss differs from provision. Increasing bank oversight and ongoing negotiations between bank and farmer

Some observations
- Modelled scenarios are intentionally severe.
- Reported loss rates manageable for banking
system.
- Losses largely absorbed through profits.
- Resolving stressed assets could take longer.
- Stress tests useful input to bank risk
