Lending Decisions

The financial sector’s role is undeniably crucial in modern economies. Yet, this sector often attracts criticisms. Of particular concern is the negligence of proper credit risk management, which may undermine (macro)economic stability. The absence of appropriate policies (industry and institutional) draws attention to firm performance indicators, which remain short-sighted in assessing the provision of sustainable risk management. The sector and, in particular, financial intermediaries (FIs) must confront the complex task of assessing their impacts and, in doing so, actively endorse enabling conditions towards sustainable development. Our paper offers managerial insights from a wide range of financial intermediaries (FIs) currently active in Greece. We address the critical question of how FIs incorporate sustainability in credit risk management. A mixed-methods approach of online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews was utilized to link and investigate managerial perspectives of sustainability risks and their impact on bad loans. The executives’ responses revealed that sustainability risk management indeed exists, but it has yet to penetrate core processes. It does provide strong motives over new management techniques and contributes to a higher level of materiality of FI’s core operations. Nonetheless, there is still plenty of room for improvement before sustainability risk assessments are comprehensively incorporated in all phases of the credit risk management process so that a robust sustainability management approach underpins FI’s core mission and goals.

This paper addresses the problem of modeling credit risk for multi-product and global loan portfolios. The authors presented an improved version of the Basel Committee’s one-factor model for capital requirements calculation. They examined whether latent market factors corresponding to distinct portfolios are always highly correlated within the global portfolio and how this correlation impacts total losses distribution function. Historical losses of top-tier banks (JPMorgan Chace, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, US Bancorp) were analyzed. Furthermore, the estimation of the correlations between latent market factors was conducted, and its impact on the total loss distribution function was assessed. The research was performed based on consolidated financial statements for holding companies - FR Y-9C reports provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. To verify the improved model, the authors analyzed two distinct loan portfolios for each bank, i.e., credit cards and commercial and industrial loans. They showed that the correlation between latent market factors could be significantly lower than one and disregarding this conclusion may lead to overestimating total unexpected losses. Hence, capital requirements calculated according to the IRB (Internal Ratings Based Approach) formula as a sum of individual VaR999 estimates may be biased. According to this finding, the enhanced one-factor model seems to be more accurate while calculating unexpected total loss for global portfolios. The authors proved that the active credit risk management process aiming to lower market factors’ correlation results in less volatile total losses. Therefore, financial institutions could be more resistant to macroeconomic downturns.

Abstract. There are a number of different financial market institutions such as banks, credit unions, leasing and insurance companies, as well as capital market players in Lithuania. The bank sector makes the largest part of the financial market (more than 80%). Thus, the bank sector has a considerable influence on the country’s economy. Banks are not specialized in Lithuania, i.e. they are universal banks which seek to provide quite a wide range of financial services. The successful performance of a bank mostly depends on how it succeeds to manage the risks. The problems of risk management are becoming an object of exceptional attention while enhancing the variety of analysed risks as well as developing the investigation instruments both in the whole world and in Lithuania. Loans make the largest part of bank assets. So, the loan risk management is one of the most important guarantees of safe banking. To manage effectively the bank credit risk, it should be adequately evaluated.Key words: banks, credit risk, credit risk management, credit quality, non-performing loansp>

Results showed that credit risk management olicies can improve credit risk management strategy formulation; credit risk management strategies improves credit risk management process quality; the intensity of high IT improves credit risk management process quality; the human resource quality can less improve credit risk management process quality; moral hazard less improves credit risk management process quality; and, the high quality of credit risk management processes can reduce credit risk. It can be concluded that credit risk management process has a significant effect on credit risk. The credit risk management policy and strategy, information technology, and moral hazard are needed to support such process.Keywords: Business and Management, credit risk, Generalized StructuredComponent Analysis (GSCA), Indonesia Commercial Banks, Indonesia

In recent years, China’s consumer finance has developed rapidly, but the foundation is unstable, and the industry has serious problems of violent competition, excessive credit, and fraud. Therefore, we should attach great importance to the healthy development of consumer finance, especially the management of its credit risk. The application of big data credit investigation can provide early warning of potential risks and prevent the risk of excessive credit investigation. This paper starts with the definition of basic core concepts, such as traditional credit investigation, big data credit investigation, and consumer finance, analyzes the performance and causes of consumer finance credit risk, and combs in detail the relevant theories of the application of big data credit investigation in consumer finance credit risk management. The application of big data credit investigation has optimized the risk management process of consumer financial institutions, deepened the concept of Internet consumer finance, improved the risk management system, created a diversified credit information system, and strengthened the innovation of Internet consumer finance products and services. For example, credit scores provide the most intuitive quantification of consumer credit risk. For consumers with different levels of credit scores, different credit approval processes can be matched. For customers with high scores, the work process can be simplified without affecting the work results. It can reduce the workload of employees by 20% and increase the accuracy of customer credit risk prediction by 16%.
