Climate Stress Testing on European SME Securitised Loans Under Climate Mitigation Scenarios

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing the future impact of climate risks on the probability of default (PD) of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is challenging due to limited disclosure, policy uncertainty and exposure to physical risks. This paper addresses this gap by integrating macroeconomic variables from the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS ...
