MODERN CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT Theory and Practice MODERN CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT Theory and Practice PANAYIOTA KOULAFETIS Modern Credit Risk Management This book is a useful compendium of concepts, tools and techniques in the broad area of credit risk management, firmly embedded in the institutional setting of financial instruments, institutions, and markets. While some parts of this topic are also acces- sible in other books, I have not come across any other volume with this breadth of coverage. The book is also unique in its detailed treatment of the approaches of the major credit rating agencies, which continue to play a major role in the financial world. The hand of someone who is equally at home with the academic literature and the world of credit rating agencies and financial markets is clearly evident throughout the book. Dr. Koulafetis deserves to be congratulated for putting this book together. It is a “must have” reference for any student of risk management, whether in aca- demia or in a financial institution, who wishes to have a diverse set of concepts and institutional details relating to credit risk in one place. I would also highly recom- mend the book to anyone seeking to prescribe a book for a course on risk manage- ment with particular emphasis on credit risk. Marti G. Subrahmanyam Charles E. Merrill Professor of Finance and Economics, Stern School of Business, New York University Dr. Koulafetis successfully provides a clear theoretical and practical presentation of the quantitative and qualitative credit risk analysis and management as well as in depth understanding of the rating process and migration of various rated securities. The book not only explains credit risk theory but goes beyond that through the exposition of practical matters. This is of great value not only for practitioners involved in the credit risk analysis, management, origination, distribution and regu- lation of various securities but also for all students, researchers and academics that want to understand how theory relates to market practise. Harry Eliades Partner and Managing Director, Goldman Sachs Modern Credit Risk Management Theory and Practise is an extremely valuable book as it successfully covers and tackles a very broad coverage of topics in rela- tion to effective credit risk analysis and management. The book not only focuses on the various quantitative approaches to capture credit risk but extends that and provides an invaluable discussion on the merits of qualitative analysis and practical implications. Furthermore the book is unique as it serves as an indispensable guide in explaining the practical analytical process and the drivers of credit ratings for Sovereigns, Banks and Corporates as well as of Structured Finance Securities, such as Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS), Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS), Asset Backed Securities (ABS), Asset Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP), and Collateralised Loan Obligations (CLOs). Mario Levis Emeritus Professor of Finance Cass Business School, City University of London Modern financial decision making involves superior screening, analysis, and inter- pretation. What are the tools that enable the financial manager or analyst to com- plete such a process successfully? One such tool is the good old traditional text book that steps back and applies a rigorous analysis. This book combines academic theory with market practice, providing guidance for effective credit risk management and an insight into the workings of rating agencies. It is a great tool for asset managers and risk practitioners, a genuine bible of credit risk management.

  • BOT Notification No 15-2555 (29 September 2017)-Check 2
    Unofficial Translation This translation is for the convenience of those unfamiliar with the Thai language Please refer to Thai text for the official version -------------------------------------- Notification of the Bank of Thailand No. FPG. 15/2555 Re: Regulations on the Calculation of Credit Risk-Weighted Assets for Commercial Banks under the Standardised Approach (SA) _____________________________ 1. Rationale As the Bank of Thailand revised the Notification of the Bank of Thailand on Supervisory Guideline on Capital Requirement for Commercial Banks by referring to the Basel III framework: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems (Revised version: June 2011) of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, in order to ensure that commercial banks have high quality and adequate capital to absorb losses that may occur under normal and stress circumstance and to maintain the stability of financial system. The Basel III framework also includes improvement of the calculation of credit risk-weighted assets to better reflect credit risk of commercial banks. In this Notification, the Bank of Thailand thereby revises regulations on the calculation of credit risk-weighted assets under the Standardized Approach (SA) in order to be aligned with the revised regulations on components of capital, as certain items that are required to be deducted from capital under Basel II shall be calculated as credit risk-weighted assets instead, without any revisions made to the existing principles of the SA. For other items, commercial banks shall comply with existing regulations as prescribed by the Bank of Thailand. 2. Statutory Power By virtue of Sections 29, Section 30 and Section 32 of the Financial Institutions Businesses Act B.E.

  • What Do One Million Credit Line Observations Tell Us About Exposure at Default? a Study of Credit Line Usage by Spanish Firms
    What Do One Million Credit Line Observations Tell Us about Exposure at Default? A Study of Credit Line Usage by Spanish Firms Gabriel Jiménez Banco de España [email protected] Jose A. Lopez Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco [email protected] Jesús Saurina Banco de España [email protected] DRAFT…….Please do not cite without authors’ permission Draft date: June 16, 2006 ABSTRACT Bank credit lines are a major source of funding and liquidity for firms and a key source of credit risk for the underwriting banks. In fact, credit line usage is addressed directly in the current Basel II capital framework through the exposure at default (EAD) calculation, one of the three key components of regulatory capital calculations. Using a large database of Spanish credit lines across banks and years, we model the determinants of credit line usage by firms. We find that the risk profile of the borrowing firm, the risk profile of the lender, and the business cycle have a significant impact on credit line use. During recessions, credit line usage increases, particularly among the more fragile borrowers. More importantly, we provide robust evidence of more intensive use of credit lines by borrowers that later default on those lines. Our data set allows us to enter the policy debate on the EAD components of the Basel II capital requirements through the calculation of credit conversion factors (CCF) and loan equivalent exposures (LEQ). We find that EAD exhibits procyclical characteristics and is affected by credit line characteristics, such as commitment size, maturity, and collateral requirements.
