Reclaim Finance responds to the ACPR's consultation on climate stress tests in France, warning that the current framework may underestimate risks. The organization advocates for a precautionary approach regarding fossil fuel exposure, more precise international risk accounting, and a critical review of the 'dynamic balance sheet' assumption. It also suggests that the 'orderly transition' reference scenario is unlikely and that the exercise fails to account for systemic shocks like the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Reclaim Finance argues that the ACPR's current hypotheses and directions could lead to an underestimation of climate risks, which would limit the exercise's impact on the policies of financial actors.
  • The organization identifies several specific technical concerns: the need for a precautionary approach to capital requirements for fossil fuel exposure, the lack of precision in international risk exposure, and the risk that the 'dynamic balance sheet' assumption—which presumes actors will adapt their portfolios—may distort results by artificially reducing evaluated risks.
  • Reclaim Finance criticizes the choice of an 'orderly transition' as the reference scenario, stating it is not the most probable outcome; instead, it suggests that a scenario where 2030 goals are missed, necessitating more radical subsequent action, better reflects current trends.
