How does it work?


Every year, each financial institution that subscribes to ORX Scenarios shares their most severe scenarios through our secure Insight platform.

After rigorous quality assurance, we then publish a database of anonymised scenarios with accompanying reports. Our subscribers currently have access to over 1000 scenarios across different business lines, sizes and regions shared by over 60 financial firms.

 


How does the library help scenario practice?

The ORX Scenario Library helps you see how your scenarios compare to those of your peers. You can use the scenarios in the library in workshops as examples and to facilitate discussion.

You can also benchmark your submissions, comparing severity estimates; financial and non-financial impacts; risk drivers; and likelihood. To make this easy for our subscribers we've created some standard reports on the library.

Scenario list report

This report provides all of the scenarios in an excel-like format. Each subscriber can download the report and share it with their team. Subscribers can also filter by Business Line, Event Type, Scenario Location, Scenario Category and Impact Rank.

This report is particularly useful if you are interested in understanding the most common scenarios used by the industry and it allows you to easily leverage the scenario descriptions, risk drivers, and financial impacts.

"The ORX Scenario Library is used a reference as well as a guide to identify relevant scenario topics trending across the globe and our local geography. Sometimes, these topics help us to drive internal discussions with stakeholders to identify unexpected risks and associated narratives."
