Enterprise Risk Management and M&E for Credit Risk Guarantee Projects Course
Introduction:
Treatment of credit risk has shifted dramatically since the global financial crisis of 2008. Before then, it was considered almost inconceivable that central investment banks and global insurers could default and create a systemic credit and liquidity crisis.
Since the crisis, there has been a universal re-thinking of most aspects of legacy risk management techniques. Financial regulators and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision have emphasized the need for innovative and more robust methods of modelling financial stress and the kinds of credit market deterioration witnessed during the crisis.
Enterprise Risk Management and M&E for Credit Risk Guarantee Projects course focus on the actual practice of credit risk assessment within financial institutions and the quantitative and methodological tools and procedures at the cutting edge of measuring, mitigating and managing credit risk.
