Analyst Track - The Basics of Credit Risk Modelling

Basic Elements for Credit Modelling in Excel

Credit Risk Modelling is the process by which financial institutions quantify credit risks across varying product lines as they have the need to quantify the amount of risk capital needed to cover their loan exposures. The role of the credit risk model is to take as input such decision-making factors as guarantor strength, loan type, and general economic conditions and generate weights based on historical measures and predictive analytics. The financial institution is then better enabled to measure its capital with regard to risk exposure and cure systemic mispricing of its loans.

In this Analyst Track, we cover the basic calculations of Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Exposure at Default (EAD). Additionally, we build an economic capital model and perform a loss distribution. We conclude with modelling correlations.
