Fed Unveils Doomsday Scenario for Banks

released its "worst-case scenario" bank stress test criteria Monday and said it will release full results Thursday at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The Fed will look at how the nation's 19 largest banks would survive a world with a 13 percent jobless rate, a 50-percent drop in stocks, a 21-percent decline in housing prices and a significant contraction of other major world economies.

The Fed conducts the tests on banks every year, but this is the first time since 2009 that it will release its results to the public. In 2009 the Fed found billions in insufficient funds on bank balance sheets.
