Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate on the scope of bank information disclosures seems to be an essential issue, especially after the 2007-2010 financial crisis. The adequate number of data provided to the public domain is the condition of transparency of the banking sector, which should assure the optimization of market participants' decisions. There is also a tendency to unify the global accountancy standards and they are expected to ensure the same scope of disclosed information for the global financial market. The aim of the study is to check if the accounting standards required by the European countries influence the number of risk disclosures and if more stable banking sectors tend to report wider scope of data. Finding out the nature of disclosures' determinants is an important aspect in terms of working out the procedures increasing the transparency and stability of the financial markets.
Download or read book Risk Disclosure in the European Banking Industry written by Salvatore Polizzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the use of qualitative and quantitative content analysis methodologies for risk disclosure practices in the European banking industry. While doing so, it assesses the level of transparency of financial and non-financial reports by focusing on the information disclosed to the public with reference to risk exposure and management. By drawing upon both qualitative and quantitative techniques, the book proposes two different methodological approaches to assess the information European financial institutions provide to the public with reference to the risk disclosure and derivative disclosure in their annual financial reports. These methodologies are subsequently employed to carry out empirical analyses on samples of European banks. By exploiting the points of strength of both qualitative and quantitative content analysis methodologies, this book offers insights into the advantages and disadvantages of these methodologies. The book is a must-read for academics and researchers that analyze disclosure practices of financial and non-financial firms, as well as financial analysts and other practitioners that are interested in assessing the level of transparency and evaluating the disclosures of financial and non-financial firms, especially, but not exclusively, with reference to risk disclosure and derivative disclosure.

Download or read book Market Risk Disclosure in Banking written by Enzo Scannella and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market risk reporting in banking has assumed such importance during the last decade. The purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative profiles of the market risk disclosure in banking. We propose a hybrid methodology to assess whether or not banks are able to provide a satisfactory degree of information about the market risks they are exposed to. In this paper we conduct an empirical research of market risk disclosure on a sample of four global systemically important European banks. The paper provides evidences that banks differ in their market risk reporting models, even though they are subject to similar regulatory requirements and accounting standards. The paper also generates some useful insights for further research.
Download or read book The Importance of Being Transparent written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the supervisory work on the transparency of banks' risk profiles, the European Central Bank (ECB) is publishing its third review of the disclosure of climate-related and environmental (C&E) risks among significant institutions (SIs) and a selected number of less significant institutions (LSIs). The assessment of C&E risk management and disclosures was highlighted as one of the supervisory priorities for 2023-25 and is based on the expectations set out by the ECB in its Guide on climate-related and environmental risks (the Guide), which was published in November 2020 to ensure that the banking sector discloses C&E risks effectively and comprehensively. In 2023, the SIs within the scope of application of the Commission Implementing Regulation henceforth referred to as the European Banking Authority (EBA) Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on Pillar 3 disclosures on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks1 will be required to disclose information as per the Annexes of the ITS, with reference date 31st of December 2022. The assessment covered the existence, substantiation and soundness of disclosures across key areas of the expectations, including materiality assessment, business model and strategy, governance, risk management, and metrics and targets, as per the ECB Guide expectation 13. The review was conducted by the ECB and national competent authorities (NCAs) and covered 103 SIs and 28 LSIs. In addition, the disclosures of 12 global systematically important banks (G-SIBs) established outside the European Union (EU) were benchmarked against the disclosures of the EU banks within the scope of the assessment. This report describes the main findings of the review for all these institutions. The outcome of this exercise shows that the majority of SIs now disclose at least basic information for most of the expectations. Most banks have now improved their public disclosures to address C&E risks, having clearly built up their capabilities in 2022. Most banks disclose basic information on materiality assessments and governance, and more than half of the banks disclose basic information on business strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. However, banks still need to close remaining gaps to disclose all relevant C&E risk information as only 34% of the banks disclose information on all categories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we provide an overview of the concerns surrounding the variations in the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWAs) across banks and jurisdictions and how this might undermine the Basel III capital adequacy framework. We discuss the key drivers behind the differences in these calculations, drawing upon a sample of systemically important banks from Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. We then discuss a range of policy options that could be explored to fix the actual and perceived problems with RWAs, and improve the use of risk-sensitive capital ratios.

This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
Download or read book Heterogeneity of Bank Risk Weights in the EU written by Rima Turk-Ariss and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns about excessive variability in bank risk weights have prompted their review by regulators. This paper provides prima facie evidence on the extent of risk weight heterogeneity across broad asset classes and by country of counterparty for major banks in the European Union using internal models. It also finds that corporate risk weights are sensitive to the riskiness of an average representative firm, but not to a market indicator of a firm’s probablity of default. Under plausible yet severe hypothetical scenarios for harmonized risk weights, counterfactual capital ratios would decline significantly for some banks, but they would not experience a shortfall relative to Basel III’s minimum requirements. This, however, does not preclude falling short of meeting additional national supervisory capital requirements.
Download or read book Supervisory Incentives in a Banking Union written by Elena Carletti and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We explore the behavior of supervisors when a centralized agency has full power over all decisions regarding banks, but relies on local supervisors to collect the information necessary to act. This institutional design entails a principal-agent problem between the central and local supervisors if their objective functions differ. Information collection may be inferior to that under fully independent local supervisors or under centralized information collection. And this may increase risk-taking by regulated banks. Yet, a “tougher” central supervisor may increase regulatory standards. Thus, the net effect of centralization on bank risk taking depends on the balance of these two effects.
Download or read book Switzerland written by International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Detailed Assessment of Compliance on the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision on Switzerland discusses that significant portions of guidance and legislation related to qualitative risk management and control standards are not as detailed or comprehensive as in many other major countries and need to be updated and selectively strengthened. Supervisory risk assessments and guidance to auditors, as the extended supervisory arm of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), need to be further materially improved, beyond what is now envisioned. Additional skilled resources within FINMA are necessary to meet these goals and to conduct more on-site supervisory work. The responsibilities and objectives of FINMA that emphasize protecting creditors, investors and insured persons, as well as ensuring proper functioning of the financial market, should be clearly stated in legislation as pre-eminent. It is recommended to increase FINMA resources, especially for on-site inspection and risk expertise. Clarify and limit the cases in which the Board can become involved in supervisory decisions and improve conflict code.

Book excerpt: The next few years will be critical for Europe's banking industry. It faces a number of financial sector reforms that will have a decisive impact on the dominant practices and business models followed across the European Union. This timely volume presents the results of the first screening exercise conducted on the performance, stability, risk, efficiency, and corporate governance of twenty-six major European banks--before, during, and after the financial crisis. The authors use those findings to help identify the key strengths and weaknesses inherent in the dominant business models, in light of the upcoming regulatory changes.
Download or read book Public Disclosure and Bank Failures written by Mr.Tito Cordella and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-08-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how public disclosure of banks’ risk exposure affects banks’ risk-taking incentives and assesses how the presence of informed depositors influences the soundness of the banking system. It finds that, when banks have complete control over the volatility of their loan portfolios, public disclosure reduces the probability of banking crises. However, when banks do not control their risk exposure, the presence of informed depositors may increase the probability of bank failures.

Book excerpt: This paper evaluates the risks and vulnerabilities of the German financial system and reviews both the German regulatory and supervisory framework and implementation of the common European framework insofar as it is relevant for Germany. The country is home to two global systemically important financial institutions, Deutsche Bank AG and Allianz SE. The system is also very heterogeneous, with a range of business models and a large number of smaller banks and insurers. The regulatory landscape has changed profoundly with strengthened solvency and liquidity regulations for banks (the EU Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive IV), and the introduction of macroprudential tools.
