The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed a new approach for central banks to maintain strong capital buffers, recommending the use of stress-testing frameworks to better manage risks and protect institutional credibility. While central banks differ fundamentally from commercial banks—they cannot technically go bankrupt since they can issue currency—the IMF cautions that a weak capital position can still undermine independence and public confidence. “Stress-testing can help a central bank gauge the level of capital that would allow it to absorb large but plausible shocks without pushing capital to levels that could weaken its credibility and independence,” the IMF explained in…
