Credit Risk Management

Abstract

In recent years the banking industry has been affected by a profound transformation that has heightened the need to identify more sophisticated methods in Credit Risk Management and monitoring. For banks the process of risk management has assumed increasing importance in particular with regard to the credit risk. New regulations and the opening of new assessment approaches have helped to overcome traditional practices in granting loans which were based on limiting the risk through guarantees and the development of new methodologies oriented to the management of portfolios of loans and the estimate of the risks associated with them in a strategic manner.
