FICO’s patented methodology incorporates regional economic variables such as labor market trends, interest rates, GDP, consumer leverage and house price indexes, provided by Moody’s Analytics and CoreLogic®, to model forecasted future probabilities of default. FICO® Score Economic Calibration Service allows you to select from Federal Reserve baseline and stress economic scenarios to custom scenarios to support for multiple business objectives; stress testing, forecasting credit policy development and business planning.
