Stress Testing in Sub-Saharan Africa : Practices, Communications, and Capacity Development / Mindaugas Leika, Hector Perez-Saiz, Olga Ilinichna Stankova, Torsten Wezel.

By contrast, few central banks publish assessments of macro-financial linkages; the focus leans more toward discussing trends and weaknesses within the financial sector than on outside risks that may negatively affect its performance.
