...A good credit score can save consumers money with lower interest rates because lenders use it to determine credit risk. Lenders use different tools to determine risk; the most widely used tool is the FICO Credit Scoring system. Maintaining a satisfactory credit score is important because lenders consider this an important tool for determining credit risk. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the definition of a credit score is “a numerical value or a categorization derived from a statisticaltool or modeling system used by a person who makes or arranges a loanto predict the likelihood of certain credit behaviors, including default (and the numerical value or the categorization derived from such analysis may also be referred to as a “risk predictor” or “risk score”); and does not include any mortgage score or rating of an automated underwriting system that considers one or more factors in addition to credit information, including the loan to value ratio, the amount of down payment, or the financial assets of a consumer; or any other elements of the underwriting process or underwriting decision” (FCRA §609(f) (2)). Although there are different types of credit scoring models, the most widely used is the FICO scoring system, created by Fair, Isaac, and Company. The factors that make up this score are as follows: payment history, new credit, amounts owed, length of credit history, and types of credit used. The length of time used for creating the score is the...

...About Ratings & Segments on IRB Approach João Pires da Cruz1 Introduction The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, on the process of definition of the New Capital Accord, establishes a stepwise framework for regulatory capital allocation for credit risk, starting on what is designated as Standard Approach, in which banks must allocate capital according to regulatory rules, and finishing on what is designated as the Advanced IRB Approach, in which banks must allocate capital based on their own risk evaluation and on the committee guidelines for that evaluation. The committee defines several guidelines for the IRB Approach depending on the type of credit exposure but, technically, we can group the several lines of attach into two ways of deal with the credit portfolio, the rating approach, for the major exposures like banks, sovereigns and corporate; and the segmentation approach for retail and small business exposures. The most accepted credit risk frameworks are rating based models since, historically, the aim of the models was the bond market, the market of debt securities issued by stable corporations, banks and states. In this market, the assumption that a debt security is less risky than other debt security become the essence of the market, since debt issuers need to disclose information to lower the price of the debt security, affected by a risk premium over the interest rate. And the disclosed information includes rating agencies evaluations of financial figures...

...determine your score. Credit scoring isn't nearly so easy. Credit-scoring models use multivariate formulas. That basically means that the value of any given bit of information in your report might depend on other bits of information. To understand how this works, let's use a noncredit example. Say that your sister calls you to report that her husband is more than an hour late in coming home from work, and she asks if you think he's having an affair. To answer the question, you would need to review what you know about this man, including...

Brackett and Peter Salovey Yale University This manuscript examines the measurement instrument developed from the ability model of EI (Mayer and Salovey, 1997), the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT; Mayer, Salovey and Caruso, 2002). The four subtests, scoring methods, psychometric properties, reliability, and factor structure of the MSCEIT are discussed, with a special focus on the discriminant, convergent, predictive, and incremental validity of the test. The authors review associations between MSCEIT scores and important outcomes such as academic performance, cognitive processes, psychological wellbeing, depression, anxiety, prosocial and maladaptive behavior, and leadership and organizational behavior. Findings regarding the low correlations between MSCEIT scores and self-report measures of EI also are presented.

...In this week’s lecture, we looked at the credit risk management. Credit risk is defined as the potential for loss due to a counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations in accordance with agreed terms. The sources of credit risk for the bank are summarized as direct lending, traditional off-balance sheet business, investment and capital market operations, etc. For the commercial banks the major risk is the credit risk which accounted by 50%-60% of total risk, far more compared to market risk and operational risk. Thus the credit risk management is quite important. The managed way is measured on the nature of counterparty (retail credit, corporate credit and business banking credit) they are measured differently from each other. EG:The retail business has lots of transactions but relatively small amounts related to individuals, which adopt a proprietary scoring model. It is considered the factors as appropriate weights, historical data on defaulted and good loans, information provided by the credit applicant etc. Then, the SMEs credit model used to predict the probability of default of bankruptcy. The Z-score is derived from 5 financial ratios using 8 inputs from the financial statements; a low Z-score, the higher risks of bankruptcy. Third, for the large companies, the credit rating is provided involve detailed analysis. The rating agency demonstrates the S&P’s investment grade ratings as AAA,AA,A; BBB,BB.B…from strongest capacity to meet financial obligation...

...Credit risk Credit risk is a fast changing discipline at the leading edge of risk management practice. The recent credit crisis brought into focus the need for effective risk management control and highlighted many of the deficiencies of the banks’ approach to measuring credit risk. This has resulted in many financial institutions reviewing their existing approach to the management of credit risk from a process, organisational and systems perspective. At the same time, many institutions are also continuing to develop more sophisticated methods of risk management, such as measuring and hedging Credit Valuation Adjustments (CVA) and modelling economic capital and incremental risk Definitions of Credit risk: ❖ Credit risk is the risk of loss due to a debtor's non-payment of a loan or other line of credit (either the principal or interest (coupon) or both). ❖ Is the risk that another party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations. Credit risk can be associated with the issuer of ❖ The likelihood that an individual will pay his or her credit obligations as agreed. Borrowers who are more likely to pay as agreed pose less risk to creditors and lenders. ❖ Risk of loss that may arise on outstanding contracts should a counter party default on its obligations. ❖ The risk that a counter party to a transaction will fail to perform according to the terms and conditions of the contract, thus causing the holder of the claim to suffer a loss. ...

...insufficient for institutions to efficiently lend to activities in the agricultural sector. Information on borrowers’ credit histories is rarely available, resulting in information asymmetries that make accurate credit risk assessment difficult. In addition, while agricultural client’s major assets are production and land, it is often difficult for banks to use these as collateral, and particularly difficult to foreclose on land in case of default. Compounding this lack of traditional collateral is the presence of a high degree of covariate risk, in particular market price risk and weather risk. Banks lending to agricultural clients know that agricultural and rural revenues easily drop below break-even levels due to extreme weather events and price falls, which result in defaults and higher loan loss provisions, thereby making lending to agribusiness unprofitable. The second major constraint in agricultural lending, high transaction and supervisory costs, is due to the particular risk, nature, and characteristics of the rural sector. In all financial markets, there is a trade-of between minimizing loan default and supervisory costs, but the nature of agricultural lending, especially through microfinance institutions, makes transaction costs and supervision costs disproportionately high relative to its urban counterpart. The small size of seasonal agricultural credit results in high due diligence costs per loan. The large geographical spread of customers, coupled with poor transportation...

Dr. Laura Ivaškevičiūtė Kauno technologijos universitetas, Socialinių mokslų fakultetas SM 5/2 gr. Įvadas Bankai skolindami neturi visos reikiamos informacijos apie įmones, todėl susiduria su vis didesne kredito rizika, o tai sąlygoja nuolatinį poreikį tobulinti savo rizikos valdymo sistemą, kurti naujus metodus, kurie padėtų efektyviai vystyti veiklą. Problema: parinkus netinkamus kredito rizikos vertinimo modelius ir metodus iškyla neadekvataus kredito rizikos vertinimo grėsmė, kuri yra viena iš šiandieninės finansinės krizės priežasčių. Tikslas – išanalizuoti įmonės kredito rizikos vertinimo modelius. Metodika: mokslinės literatūros apžvalga. Kredito rizikos samprata Norint išaiškinti kredito rizikos sąvokos reikšmę, pirmiausia reikia apibrėžti kas yra kreditas. Išanalizavus keleto autorių, t.y. Martinkaus B., Buškevičiūtės E., Bartkaus E., Žaltauskienės N., pateikiamas kredito sąvokas, galima teigti, kad kreditas – komercinis pasitikėjimas, kurį kreditorius (skolintojas) išreiškia kredito gavėjui (skolininkui) tiesiogiai (skolindamas pinigus) arba netiesiogiai parduodamas prekes ir paslaugas skolon. Anot S. Tarailos, paskolos išdavimas bendrais bruožais taip pat gali būti apibrėžiamas kaip vertės suteikimo kitam asmeniui arba subjektui procesas prisiimant su tuo susijusią riziką. Rizika susijusi su galimybe, kad kitas asmuo arba subjektas gali nesugebėti ateityje...
