RISK
WHAT IS RISK ?
The probability of a loss or damage in the event of
an untoward or unexpected event happening.
Probability of an untoward event
Loss on account of the untoward event
Possibility of the real outcome being different from the expected
outcome
Derived from the Latin word “Rescum”- risk at sea
Also said to be from the Italian word “Riscare” to dare
Risk is in inherent in any walk of life in general and in
the financial sector in particular
RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Why talk of risk and risk management now ?
Was banking not in existence a century ago ?
De-regulation, Globalization, integration
The regulators decided the banks liabilities and assets
The regulators took decisions and the banks merely
implemented them
No scope for risk taking in a regulated environment
Closed economy limited exposure to international
banking
Competition: Other things being equal, a bank which
manages its risk better would be the preferred bank
Business is the art of extracting money from other’s pocket,
sans resorting to violence. But profiting in business without
exposing to risk is like trying to live without being born.
A THOUGHT
RISK IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
UNCERTAINITY IS THE ONLY
CERTAINITY

A FEW MORE OF IT
ALL OF BANKING IS MANAGEMENT OF
RISK……..NOT ITS ELIMINATION
RISK MANAGEMENT IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS
AND NOT A ONE TIME ACTIVITY
BANKING IS A RISKY BUSINESS BUT RISK IS THE
BUSINESS OF BANKING
CURRENT RISKS ARE TOMMORROWS POTENTIAL
LOSSES
THE OTHER NAME FOR RISK IS, “OPPORTUNITY”

RISK AND LOSSES
Risk
has the potential to cause both expected and
unexpected losses having an adverse impact on the
bank’s capital and earnings.
Expected losses to be borne by the borrower through risk
premium or having to pay a higher price
Expected losses also covered through provisioning/creating
reserves
Unexpected losses to borne by the bank by allocating higher
capital
RISK MANAGEMENT ?
Banks
no more a mere financial intermediary but a
risk intermediary
Risk Management system is the pro-active action in
the present for the future.
Risk management is all about
Identifying risk
Measuring risk
Monitoring risk
Managing risk
Mitigating risk

RISKS EXIST- WHAT IS THE WAY OUT
Banking has to be done despite the risks
Without risk there is no reward
Risks have to be taken but managed, controlled and
mitigated
To manage risks:- Identify the risk, measure the risk,
To control risks: Put in place a system of checks and
balances
To mitigate risks: Stipulate covenants- hedge, stipulate
thresholds, have alternate flows

A thorough understanding of risks
Bank specific risk management framework.
A good risk management structure.
An independent & explicit risk management function
A comprehensive risk management policy
Identification of financial & non-financial risks.
Measure, Monitor & control the overall level of risks.
Hold capital commensurate with the overall level of risks.
Segregation of risk takers and risk managers (RMD / Midoffice/ LRM)
Committee approach rather than individual perception
(collective wisdom)
PRINCIPLES OF SOUND RISK MANAGEMENT
7.
Integrated approach for risk management.
a) Capturing all material sources of risks.
b) Participation by all concerned.
c) Integration of counterparty risk.
d) Integration of the risk management function
PRE-REQUISITES OF EFFECTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
Organizational Structure
Policy & Strategy
Operations / Systems
Existence of a robust MIS, consistent in quality
Upgradation of the skills of staff
Continuous evaluation and monitoring
Design of risk management functions should be bank
specific, dictated by the size, complexity of functions,
the level of technical expertise and the quality of MIS
ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Global trend- centralizing risk management with
integrated treasury management function
Integrated structure: The risks are not independent
but to a great extent interdependent- Macro view
Benefits-information on aggregate exposure, natural
netting of exposures, economies of scale and easier
reporting to top management
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
A policy should include risk identification,
risk measurement, reporting and risk control /
mitigation techniques.
Risk Management Policy
Loan Policy (Credit Risk Policy)
Market Risk Management Policy
Liquidity Risk Management (ALM Policy)
Operational Risk Management Policy
Approval and periodical review by Board reviewed periodically,
updated regularly depending on the external environment
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Responsibilities
Primary responsibility- understanding the risks run by the
bank and ensuring that the risks are appropriately managed
Set risk limits by assessing the bank’s risk and risk-bearing
capacity
Review the risk exposure limits from time to time to ensure
that the limits conform to the changes in business strategies,
addition of new products and changes in market conditions.
Approve the overall business strategies and significant
policies including policy relating to managing and taking
risks.
Ultimate responsibility for the level of risk taken
by banks rests with the Board of Directors.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT
Implementing business strategies in a manner that
limits risks associated with the strategy and ensure
compliance both with bank’s policies and regulations.
The senior management should ensure:
Requisite personnel with knowledge, experience and
expertise consistent with their nature of duties and volume
of operations are in position to manage the risks
Risk managers have sufficient knowledge to understand
and operate within limits
Employees have the integrity, ethical values to conform to
management philosophy and operating style.
Day to day activities of risk managers/risk control
officers/heads of business lines are monitored.
RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (RMC)
A Board level sub-committee including the CEO, heads
of credit, Market & Operational risk management
Committees
Independence of this Committee to be preserved.
Functions:
A. Devise policy & strategy for integrated risk
management
B. Coordinate between CRMC, ALCO, & ORMC
C. Make recommendations to Board
RISKS IN BANKING
Four major risks faced by banks
Credit Risk
Market Risk
Liquidity Risk
Operational Risk
Credit Risk?
22
“Possibility of a borrower or a counterparty
failing to meet his/its obligation in accordance
with the terms of contract/agreement”
CREDIT RISK
Possibility of a borrower or a counterparty failing to
meet his/its obligation in accordance with the terms
of contract/agreement resulting in a loss”
“
Possibility of a borrower or counter party failing
Loss caused
Inability to fulfill obligation as per the terms of
contract leading to a possible loss
Features of credit risk:
Predictable part- contained through proper strategy
Unpredictable part- faced and overcome
CREDIT RISK
Two components of credit risk
Quantitative- the balance outstanding – Default
Qualitative- deterioration in the credit quality (short of
default) which might lead to default- Exposure
Credit risk is a combined outcome of Default Risk and
Exposure Risk.
Default is the extreme case- it does not happen
abruptly- quality deteriorates over a period of time- if
not addressed it turns into default
Why Manage Credit Risk
IMPORTANCE OF MANAGEMENT
Banking is all about intermediation
Deals with public money
Credit is the basic premise of banking
There can be no banking without lending
Credit risk is inherent to banking business
Some Fundamental issues involved in Credit Risk

External factors:
Changes in government policies- trade policy, fiscal
policy, import-export policy
Business Cycle- slow down in economy
changes in market variables-demand trends etc
Internal factors:
Management,
Unviable business model,
Financial mis-management
Settlement Risk
Un-rest
Product, process, people failure
Willful Default
WHAT ARE FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR CREDIT
RISK?
IV. Portfolio risk
Adverse distribution,
Adverse concentration, Credit Concentration
Large exposure,
Correlation between industry sectors
HOW MAJOR CREDIT PROBLEMS ARISE

c)
d)
e)
f)
Weakness in Credit processing and monitoring
Credit decisions not taken on credit rating basis
compromising on inadequate global financial and
economic analysis data
Subjective decision making in cases of related
party lending
Not adopting stringent credit assessment and
appraisal standards
Globalization of credit market and competition
inducing time constraint that interferes with due
diligence process
Adoption of new credit techniques and products
without validation sacrificing due diligence and
benchmark financial norms
HOW MAJOR CREDIT PROBLEMS ARISE
g.

i.
j.
k.
Absence of credit audit and credit review process
Indulgence to highly leveraged large borrowers
Breakdown of credit control mechanism leading to
credit related fraud
Non-recognition of downslide scenario and business
cycle effects in credit processing analysis and credit
risk rating
Absence of monitoring mechanism to detect early
warning signals (deterioration of borrower’s financial
condition or collateral values)
Market Risk?
MARKET RISK
The
possibility that the value of on and off balance
sheet positions of a bank would be adversely affected
by movement in market variables such as interest
rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates,
commodity prices resulting in depletion in earnings
and erosion of capital
Adverse impact on the banks investment due to
movement in interest rates in the market.
MARKET RISK ELEMENTS
Interest rate risk- caused by movement of interest rates
up or down
Arises when there is a mismatch between interest rate
sensitive assets and liabilities
Impact of interest rate risk
Immediate- Earnings- Net Interest income
Long term- Economic value
Sources of interest rate risk
Re-pricing risk (arises due to timing mismatch)
Basis risk (changing or shifting of the basic relationship)
Yield curve risk
Embedded risk or options risk
MEASURING INTEREST RATE RISK
Static
measure- Gap analysis, sensitivity analysis
Re-pricing gap modelsInterest rate sensitive Ratio- ISA/ISL
Risk to net interest income- Gap x change in rate x time over
which the periodic gap is in effect= Change in NII
EaR- Earnings at Risk
EVE –Economic Value of equity
VaR- Value at Risk
Dynamic
measures- Modeling measure (Monte Carlo
simulation), scenario analysis, stress testing etc
MARKET RISK ELEMENTS
Price
risk or equity price risk
Adverse impact due to movement of prices of assets up or down.
Foreign
exchange risk or currency risk
Adverse impact due to movement of one currency vis-à-vis
another currency
Commodity
risk
Movement prices of commodities
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity Risk Management
Measuring & monitoring liquidity position of the bank
Stock Approach: Managing liquidity risk through threshold ratios
Flow Approach: Structural liquidity Statements, monitoring gaps in
flow
Examining funding requirements
Contingency funding plan
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE- MARKET RISK

To be headed by CMD/CEO/ED and members- heads of
Investment, Credit, Planning, Treasury & IT
Role:
Product pricing for deposits & advances
Decide on maturity profile
Articulating interest rate view of the bank and deciding on
the future business strategy
Reviewing & articulating funding policy

Function:
Analyzing, monitoring & reporting risk profiles to the
ALCO
Prepare forecasts showing effects of various possible
changes in market conditions & recommend action needed
Mid-Office
Function:
Independent monitoring , measurement, analysis of
market risk & reporting to ALCO
OPERATIONAL RISK
Risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and systems or from external events.
This definition includes legal risk, but excludes strategic
and reputational risk……………….BCBS
This definition is based on the underlying causes of
operational risk and not on the outcome or consequence of
the risk
why a loss happened and at the broadest level includes the
breakdown by four causes: people, processes, systems and
external factors.
DIMENSIONS OF OPERATIONAL RISK
CAUSE
Why did event happen?
Failed people, process, systems,
external
Factors..
Event
What happened?
Fraud, trade input error, system
failure, ..
Impact
What are the consequences?
Monetary loss, Reputation damage, etc
OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Various contributing factors for operational risks are:
People Risk
Process Risk
Systems Risk
Reputational Risk
Legal and Regulatory Risk
Event Risk - Operating Environment Risk (external
factors risk) unanticipated changes in external
environment other than macro economic factors.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE- OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational Risk Management Committee (ORMC)
Functions:
Review of operational risk exposures across the bank
mitigation of operational risk within the institution by the
creation and maintenance of an explicit operational risk
management process
to take a cross-business view and assure that a proper
understanding is reached and actions are being taken to
meet the stated goals and objectives of operational risk
management in the bank
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE- OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational Risk Management Department (ORMD)
Functions:
responsible for coordinating all the operational
risk activities of the Bank, working towards
achievement of the stated goals and objectives

lower risk
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE- OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational Risk Managers
It is expected that each business/ functional area will
appoint a person responsible to coordinate the
management of operational risk
Risk Managers will report to their respective
departments/businesses, but work closely with ORMD
and with consistent tools and risk management
framework and policy.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE- OPERATIONAL RISK
Support group for ORM
