FDIC 2018 stress test assumes 10% unemployment

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. release its hypothetical economic scenarios to stress test institutions with at least $10 billion in assets.

The regulator's 2018 stress test factors in a 10% unemployment rate in the severely adverse scenario.

That 10% peak is assumed in the third quarter of 2019, following an 8.9% drop in U.S. real GDP in the second quarter of 2018.
