Abstract

This paper questions the relevance of using only the 5-year maturity CDS spreads in the examination of the CDS market response to the disclosure of regulatory stress test results. Do the 5-year CDS contracts reflect all the relevant information on the response of the CDS market? Indeed, since a stress testing exercise measures tested banks? risk at different horizons, we suspect a difference in the market response depending on the horizons. Our empirical study shows that following the disclosure of stress tests? results, the information content provided by the different maturities differs. Therefore, simply using 5-year maturity CDS to assess banking risk is not sufficient. JEL Codes: G00, G14, G21, G28.
