  • Chapter 5 Credit Risk
    Chapter 5 Credit risk 5.1 Basic definitions Credit risk is a risk of a loss resulting from the fact that a borrower or counterparty fails to fulfill its obligations under the agreed terms (because he or she either cannot or does not want to pay). Besides this definition, the credit risk also includes the following risks: Sovereign risk is the risk of a government or central bank being unwilling or • unable to meet its contractual obligations. Concentration risk is the risk resulting from the concentration of transactions with • regard to a person, a group of economically associated persons, a government, a geographic region or an economic sector. It is the risk associated with any single exposure or group of exposures with the potential to produce large enough losses to threaten a bank's core operations, mainly due to a low level of diversification of the portfolio. Settlement risk is the risk resulting from a situation when a transaction settlement • does not take place according to the agreed conditions. For example, when trading bonds, it is common that the securities are delivered two days after the trade has been agreed and the payment has been made. The risk that this delivery does not occur is called settlement risk. Counterparty risk is the credit risk resulting from the position in a trading in- • strument. As an example, this includes the case when the counterparty does not honour its obligation resulting from an in-the-money option at the time of its ma- turity. It also important to note that the credit risk is related to almost all types of financial instruments.

  • 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Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco [email protected] Jesús Saurina Banco de España [email protected] DRAFT…….Please do not cite without authors’ permission Draft date: June 16, 2006 ABSTRACT Bank credit lines are a major source of funding and liquidity for firms and a key source of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.

The aim of this article was to quantify capital requirement for individual methodologies of credit risk management on the designed portfolio with corporate loans with use of collateral using collaterals as techniques to reduce credit risk of commercial bank. Firstly, the aim of this article is to quantify the capital requirements using the Internal Rating Based Approach with collateral usage. Afterwards, achieved results have been compared with the methodology of the Standardized Approach and Internal Based Approach. The article is highlighted aspects of transition to developed methods of Internal Rating Systems with significant savings on equity, which allows banks accelerate lending activities and so increase provided services for small-medium sized companies.

Insurance-linked derivatives such as catastrophes bonds and weather bonds have been used for some time in the United States and European Union. The risks that they cover vary from property catastrophes, weather, general liability, and extreme mortality risks.

  • Bank Capital, Securitization and Credit Risk: an Empirical Evidence
    ARTICLES ACADÉMIQUES ACADEMIC ARTICLES Assurances et gestion des risques, vol. 75(4), janvier 2008, 459-485 Insurance and Risk Management, vol. 75(4), January 2008, 459-485 Bank Capital, Securitization and Credit Risk: an Empirical Evidence by Georges Dionne and Tarek M. Harchaoui ABSTRACT This paper is one of the first attempts to conduct an empirical investigation of the relationship between bank capital, securitization and bank risk-taking in a con- text of the rapid growth in off-balance-sheet activities. The data come from the Canadian financial sector. Evidence from the 1988-1998 period indicates that: (a) securitization has a negative statistical link with both current Tier 1 and Total risk- based capital ratios, and (b) there exists a positive statistical link between securi- tization and bank risk-taking. Profit-risk measure is more sensitive than loss-risk measure to the variation in securitization activity. These results seem to agree, during the studied period, with models indicating that banks might be induced to shift to more risky assets under the current capital requirements for credit risk because the regulatory capital levels are considered too high.

  • Practical Application Examples from the IAA Banking Webinar
    INTERNATIONAL ACTUARIAL ASSOCIATION Practical Application Examples for the Banking Webinar 29 March 2017 16:00 SAST, 15:00 BST 1. Practical Application: Expected Credit Loss Modelling where actuarial and statistical principles are heavily applied. Expected Loss = PD x LGD x EAD Estimating Probability of Default (“PD”) • One common methodology for estimating the PD is to develop a rating scorecard, which aims to assign scores to borrowers based on a list of factors. These scorecards can be “application” or “behavioural” in nature, and hence the factors captured will reflect different characteristics. Application scorecards are used at the point of origination, and therefore look to capture the default risk on new loans, while behavioural scorecards look to capture risks on loans that have been on the book for at least 6 months. • Scorecard models are usually based on regression equations with a logit link, so as to restrict the PD between 0 and 1. Alternatively, a linear or non-linear equation can be used to derive the score, which is then mapped to the Bank’s estimate of PD using a matrix. For example, a score of 700 may refer to a PD of 2%. • Another common methodology is to use a roll-rate or transition matrix approach. Under this approach, the Bank will measure the migrations (between credit ratings, or delinquency indicators) over a fixed observation window. The same group of loans is therefore monitored from the start of the period to the end to obtain the proportions moving from one state to the next. The Bank is then able to estimate the likelihood of a loan in any state moving to another state, in this case default.
