Abstract:Motivated by a real problem, this study aims to develop models to conduct stress testing on credit card portfolios. Two modelling approaches were extended to include the impact of lenders' actions within the model. The first approach was a regression model of the aggregate losses based on economic variables with auto correlations of the errors. The second approach was a set of vintage level models which highlighted the months-on-book effect on credit losses. A case study using the models was described using South African credit card data. In this case the models were used to stress test the credit card portfolio under several economic scenarios.
