This chapter focuses on the measurement of single-name concentrations in loan portfolios.

Systematic risk represents the effect of unexpected changes in macroeconomic and financial market conditions on the performance of borrowers while idiosyncratic risk represents the effects of risks that are particular to individual borrowers.
