[1/4] The International Monetary Fund (IMF) logo is seen outside the headquarters building in Washington, U.S., September 4, 2018.
The IMF adjusted this year's stress test to probe the impact of its baseline economic scenario of higher interest rates for longer, as well as the possibility of consumers yanking deposits.
"Under the baseline, it's about 5% of banks that are relatively weak in terms of their capital.
And in severe stress, that number goes up to 30% or sometimes higher," Adrian said.
The IMF did not identify the banks that could be in trouble if those economic circumstances arose, but they included both small and large lenders.
