Stress testing, robust capital adequacy buffers, and dynamic risk assessment models are critical components. A truly resilient institution can absorb macroeconomic shocks while continuing to provide essential services to its clients. We will examine case studies of institutions that survived recent global crises and extract the core principles of their resilience.
