·  Present stress testing results and conclusions to Regional and Country Chief Risk Officers and Global and Regional Treasury Risk Stewards
·  Utilize the conclusions from the suite of stress tests to proactive manage HSBC’s Capital Risk
·  Where applicable, ensure the continuity of key bank vulnerabilities across the various spectrums of stress tests

·  Ensure that HSBC is meeting the minimum regulatory requirements as it pertains to stress testing
