Credit Risk Management
Lending activities constitute the most prominent and primary source of earnings for banks as intermediaries in the financial market. Credit risk assets also pose the greatest danger to the survival or existence of any lending institution.
It is therefore imperative that all lending officers in the bank are equipped with the technical and analytical skills required to analyze credit risks (identify, quantify, mitigate, and price residual risks) as well as manage loan portfolios.
This training and mentoring programme is comprehensively designed to strengthen the capacity of all participants to understand credit policy issues, appraise credit requests, analyze various credit risks, package and process loans, and effectively manage the bank’s loan portfolio in their assigned business areas.We approach credit risk from the point of view of banks, but most of the tools and models we will overview can be beneficial at the corporate level as well.
