Fed keeps stress capital buffer requirements unchanged until 2027

The Federal Reserve Board finalized its 2026 stress test scenarios and voted to keep current stress capital buffer requirements in place until 2027. New requirements will be calculated in 2027 using models revised after public feedback. Each bank therefore stays at its current requirement for now.

• Current stress capital buffer requirements maintained
• Hold runs until 2027, when new requirements are calculated
• Bowman said the pause allows correction of supervisory model deficiencies
