Download or read book How Firms in Developing Countries Manage Risk written by Jack D. Glen and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers the use of risk management techniques and instruments by firms in developing countries. Increased financial market volatility in recent years has led to the development of a number of new financial instruments for managing the risks associated with specific transactions. In most developing countries, however, firms face substantial obstacles to using these instruments. Despite that, developing country managers are becoming more and more aware of the need to manage risk. In many cases, they have turned to the International Finance Companies as a source of information on risk management and for assistance in accessing new risk management instruments. In addition to the financial risks that often accompany transactions, many firms in developing countries suffer from exposure to other economic risks, especially the risk of long-runovervaluation/undervaluation of their local currency. This type of exposure is more difficult to measure and manage than purely transactional exposures, but can have very significant effects oncompetitiveness. Unlike the management of transaction exposure, which most often involves use of financial instruments, management of economic exposure requires operational and marketing strategies in order to be effective.
Download or read book Taking Stock of Risk Management Techniques for Sovereigns written by Stijn Claessens and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the current state of affairs and thinking on external risk management for developing countries. It tries to identify the reasons behind the limited risk management by sovereigns. Perverse incentives arising from a too generous international safety net, limited access to international financial markets by developing countries arising from low creditworthiness, a limited supply of financial risk management tools suited to developing countries, and a poor supply of skills have inhibited risk management. Another constraint has been the limited attention given to the strategic objectives for risk management. Going forward, the paper identifies actions by international financial markets, countries and international financial institutions that can help improve risk management.
Download or read book Powering the Digital Economy Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance written by El Bachir Boukherouaa and published by International Monetary Fund. 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 Risk Management written by Mohammad Baydoun and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to develop a risk management model to be used for large scale development projects in developing countries. Such a model can help project managers of this type of projects to gear their projects through different risk environments. Due to high level of risk associated with large scale development projects, the traditional risk management approach, which assumes that risk can be predicted and budgeted early on, is not adequate for application in the context of these projects. Each large scale project has a high level of uniqueness that renders benchmarks from databases generated out of previous projects obsolete. Therefore, a reactive risk management approach is being promoted. The model illustrated in this book includes categories of risk that will help in risk identification, key milestones, at which risks need to be managed, interim risk management processes, a risk mitigation guide to be used in defining the proper measures for each risk, and KPIs that will help in measuring the success of adopted measures. This model is investigated in the context of developing countries where investments in general are characterized by a high level of risk.

Book excerpt: 'Catastrophe Risk Financing in Developing Countries' provides a detailed analysis of the imperfections and inefficiencies that impede the emergence of competitive catastrophe risk markets in developing countries.

These principles and activities are expected to inform good practices and ensure desirable results in catastrophe insurance projects. 'Catastrophe Risk Financing in Developing Countries' offers valuable advice and guidelines to policy makers and insurance practitioners involved in the development of catastrophe insurance programs in developing countries.

Book excerpt: Country-Risk Analysis is a comprehensive, practical guide to the management of international risk and cross-border lending.

Yet it is only recently that a formalized approach to country risk assessment has been implemented in the major international banks. Ron Solberg's volume provides a state-of-the-art review of the country risk techniques that have evolved in the context of dramatic changes in developing countries' debt service capacity and in international lending itself. It deals comprehensively with sovereign credit decision making, portfolio management, lending behaviour and financial innovations.
