## Abstract

The Board is adopting amendments to its policy statement on the scenario design framework for stress testing. As revised, the policy statement clarifies that the Board may adopt a change in the unemployment rate in the severely adverse scenario of less than 4 percentage points under certain economic conditions and institutes a guide that limits procyclicality in the stress test for the change in the house price index in the severely adverse scenario.
