This book was released on 2002-04-18 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: In their role as financial intermediaries, banks have the inherent task of assuming risks. This statement follows Diamond s model (1984) that financial intermediaries exist because they have a comparative advantage in the production of private information. Higher competition and complexity as well as a riskier environment however have increased the importance of managing and controlling one of the banks core risks: credit risk. Before analysing the implications on specific credit risk instruments, the thesis will describe the relevant content of The New Basel Capital Accord and explain the general context of credit risk and capital management within a bank. An analysis of the implications of The New Basel Capital Accord implies the question of how the new incentive structures will modify credit risk and capital management activities within banks and shape the competitive environment of the banking industry. More specifically, it will be investigated how the significance and type of credit risk and capital management will change and what effect The New Basel Capital Accord will have on the development of credit risk measurement instruments. The paper will also describe the impacts of the new Accord on the market for credit derivatives and securitizations and on the structure of these transactions. Moreover, it is important to consider how the scarce and essential resource capital will be affected and what potential conclusions can be drawn. The thesis will show that The New Basel Capital Accord is a major step forward in banking regulation that will better align regulatory and economic capital. It will encourage the usage of internal rating approaches, credit derivatives and securitizations. It will also influence capital allocation and lead to an extended use of active portfolio management. As a consequence of changed incentive structures the analysis will indicate that The New Basel Capital Accord will be an important driver for the advancement and improvement of credit risk measurement and internal credit risk models.

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.
Download or read book Bank Capital and Loan Loss Reserves Under Basel II written by Giovanni Majnoni and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Majnoni, Miller, and Powell propose an integrated approach to minimum bank capital and loan loss reserves regulation. They break new ground in two main areas. First, the authors provide an explicit measurement of the credit loss distribution for a sample of emerging countries providing a benchmark for discussing the appropriate calibration of new regulatory capital and loan loss provision requirements for non-G10 countries. Second, on normative grounds, they propose a simplified version of the "internal rating based" (IRB) approach as a transition tool that, while retaining a risk-based definition of solvency ratios, implies reduced supervisory monitoring costs and could therefore be of interest to emerging countries where supervisory resources are particularly scarce. This paper--a product of the Finance Cluster Sector Unit, Latin America and the Caribbean Region--is part of a larger effort in the region to analyze the effects of bank capital regulation"--World Bank web site.

Download or read book Capital Requirements Capital Adequacy and Risk Management written by Emilio Barone and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Basle Committee is seeking to amend the 1988 Accord by introducing a new capital adequacy framework for credit institutions. The proposals, put forward in a consultative paper issued in June 1999 (A New Adequacy Framework), have been submitted for comments to the international banking industry. This consultation has been closed by the end of last March. The proposed future regulatory regime is of paramount importance to all financial institutions as it lays the basis for a level playing field in which to operate.This document aims at contributing to the round of discussions, in order to try and find an optimal solution for all practitioners. After reviewing the main pitfalls of the current Accord, we examine the content of the Basle proposal, focusing attention on the first of the three pillars referred to in the Basle paper, i.e. the Minimum Capital Requirements.We call attention on the need to pursue an integrated approach, taking into account that regulatory issues will affect banking, financial and other institutions on a global scale. Credit risk is in fact just one of the component of the risks undertaken by financial institutions, albeit often the most relevant. The internal ratings-based approach which the Basle Committee is proposing to introduce as an alternative to a modified standard approach should be integrated with the identification of credit spreads applicable to the different categories of counterparts. These credit variables may be treated as analogous to market variables (typically interest rates) in order to quantify the overall market and credit exposure, both in the banking book and trading book. Following this approach it is possible to arrive at an integrated VAR for the calculation of the overall regulatory capital charges. More specifically, the Basle Committee should allow large and complex financial institutions to follow a more advanced approach, based on their own internal models, rather than only on internal ratings.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, Veranstaltung: Bank Financial Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In this paper, the impact of higher capital requirements to the capital adequacy of banks as well as its consequences to the financial system will be discussed. Therefore, these terms will be explained and an overview of the developed guidelines will be given. With the help of that knowledge, the actual challenges for financial institutions can be set in relation to these rules in order to find an appropriate level of banking regulation. This topic has a special meaning to society, because the banking sector is highly leveraged and can cause great economic damage if there is a lack of sufficient risk management.

Download or read book Risk Management in Credit Portfolios written by Martin Hibbeln and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk concentrations play a crucial role for the survival of individual banks and for the stability of the whole banking system. Thus, it is important from an economical and a regulatory perspective to properly measure and manage these concentrations. In this book, the impact of credit concentrations on portfolio risk is analyzed for different portfolio types and it is determined, in which cases the influence of concentration risk has to be taken into account. Furthermore, some models for the measurement of concentration risk are modified to be consistent with Basel II and their performance is compared. Beyond that, this book integrates economical and regulatory aspects of concentration risk and seeks to provide a systematic way to get familiar with the topic of concentration risk from the basics of credit risk modeling to present research in the measurement and management of credit risk concentrations.

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.
