This paper develops an early warning model (EWM) for a micro-macro analysis of individual and aggregated bank vulnerabilities in Ukraine. We applied a stepwise logit for predicting defaults at Ukrainian banks based on a panel bank and macro-level data from Q1 2009 to Q3 2019. Next, we aggregated individual bank default probabilities to provide policymakers with information about the general state of the financial system with a particular focus on generating a signal for countercyclical capital buffer (CCB) activation. Our key findings suggest that the probability of default exceeding 11% could signal about a vulnerable state in a bank and, in the aggregated model, in a financial system in general. The aggregated model successfully issues an out-of-sample signal of a systemic crisis four periods ahead of the start of the 2014-2015 turmoil.
