Risk Analysis

Risk refers to financial uncertainty and potential for loss. It is inherent in business as profiting without risk is impossible. There are three main types of risk for banks: credit risk, market risk, and operational risk. Credit risk is the potential that a borrower fails to meet obligations and can result in losses from default or deterioration in credit quality short of default. Market risk is the risk from changes in interest rates, security prices, foreign exchange rates, and other market factors. Risk management tools like exposure limits, risk ratings, pricing models, and review processes are used to measure and control credit and market risks.
