The increasing gaps between the cash inflows and outflows may need hedging, and the cash flows that offset over time represents the issue of timing effectively. The management of foreign exchange transaction can be achieved through the offsetting transactions to ...

Abstract

The governments have developmental projects that require more financial resources than their revenue due to budget deficits. Having excess money in the circulation is dangerous to an economy because it results in excess aggregate demand that produces inflationary gaps. As such, the government must regulate money supply to ensure ...

Credit Risk Management

Commercial Loan Market Commercial loans are debt arrangements agreed upon by the lender (business) and borrower (financial institution) to cover operational costs or fund business projects. During economic downturn, financial institutions are cautious of their lending and consequently import strict regulations that force borrowers to pay a higher interest rate. The agreement between the lender and borrower in the market is documented in a “credit agreement.” In credit risk management, the most important components of the agreement describe the covenants, the security requirements, priority of payments and events of default.

The deterioration in political and economic environment in Brazil is a cause of worry as the portfolio holds 10% of Brazilian bonds denominated in USD.

Either of the situations would lead to decline in value of the bonds and affect the whole portfolio. A downgrade in bond rating would lead to increase in the yield, resulting in decline in bond value. On the other hand, there ...

Financial Institution Supervision: Insurance Companies

The Step of the Risk Management Process

The risk management process is comprised of five core steps. The first is the identification of risks. At the heart of this phase is to identify what is likely to hinder the ability to meet the targeted goals. After the risk has been identified, the next step is to analyze it. This stage requires one to determine the probability and the consequences of the identified risk(s). It assists a person or a group to understand the inherent nature of the risk along with the potential effects on the set goals. The third step is the risk ranking or ...

Managing risk is a vast endeavor, not easily understood. Hampton (2011, p. 2) describes that “one large corporation identifies 2,100 business unit risks and 800 common risks across all business units” in his assessment of financial risks. For the current project, we will focus on financial risks and organization risks. Diebold, Doherty, & Herring (2010, p. 1) indicate that for being successful, risk managers must be “constant grappling with the known, the unknown and the unknowable.” The authors think of the ‘unknowable’ as a conceptual framework to improve decision-making: managers have to recognize and contrast situations that are ‘known’ ...

Article 1: The case for minimizing risk in your bond holdings by William Bernstein

There is always a trade-off between risk and return. Investors are rational and risk-averse hence, they require additional returns when the risk involved in any investment is high. In this article, William Bernstein explains how investors can reduce the risk in their investments in bonds without necessarily interfering with the expected returns on the bonds. One of the risks affecting bondholders is the interest risk. Changes in interest rates affect the return on bonds. When interest rates rise, bondholders lose since the prices of bonds fall. This is because the bond will be paying a lower coupon interest compared ...

Credit Risk Management Analysis

Credit risk emanates from the peril of loss of principal or shortfall of a financial reward stemming from a borrower default to repay a loan obligation. The failures to honor a contractual agreement of a loan results of a wholesale credit risk. When a borrower envisages to use future cash flow to pay a current debt credit risk will eventually arise. Then the savers will assume credit risk by way of interest payment from the borrower or issuer of the debt obligation. The wholesale credit risk, therefore, emanates from the defaulters of debt obligation that have been acquired from ...

Although the sector has recorded marked improvements in its operation and efficiency, additional efforts is needed to deal with problems revolving around non-performing loans and shadow banking.

It is important to remember that banking and loan arrangements vary per banking client. So, if one banking client managed to get a $50,000 worth of loans under a long term tenor of ten years with only a fixed interest rate for five years of 5%, that does not mean that all banking clients would be able to enjoy the same deal by the time they apply for a loan. There are factors and variables which creditors, which in this case would be the banks, have to consider before making banking and loan arrangements. Credit worthiness and the ability of the ...

Some manifestation of risk includes business risks, credit risks, interest rate risks, political risks, default risks and reinvestment risks. The uncertain nature of risks makes it fundamentally ...
