I am trying to calculate the Total Credit Risk capital % for my learning purpose as given below. Assuming adding 1 single loan with different pds. i have noticed one point in the table and have two queries. Point 1: As PD increasing, the highly risky bands gets lower credit risk capital %. Question1: Is there any rational behind this?, why we need to keep lower capital for risky bands? Question2:…

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with how credit default swaps can be used for corp funding and financing. I came across an old case where a bank created a funding structure for a client (asset manager). However, I'm not familiar with how this takes place. Any insight on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Faisal

Americans are carrying more than $1.2 trillion in credit card debt, and for a lot of people, it’s not from splurging. It’s everyday stuff: car repairs, medical bills, groceries. And if you only make the minimum payment, that debt can grow exponentially, sticking around for years. The average credit card interest rate today is close […]

There's a pattern I've seen repeatedly in financial ML: a model achieves excellent predictive performance — AUC above 0.80, stable on holdout — and the team ships it. Then, six months later, someone asks "but why is the model denying more applicants from this postal code?" and nobody has a good answer. Prediction and causation are different things, and conflating them is expensive in credit risk …

Thank you for your feedback and interest in my previous article. Since several readers asked how to replicate the analysis, I decided to share the full code on GitHub for both this article and the previous one. This will allow you to easily reproduce the results, better understand the methodology, and explore the project in more detail.In this post, we show that analyzing the relationships betwee…

Credit risk assessment is a critical function in the banking sector, directly influencing financial stability, asset quality, and regulatory compliance. Traditional credit evaluation models, largely based on historical financial data and rule-based systems, often fail to capture complex borrower behavior and dynamic market conditions. Predictive analytics, powered by machine learning and advanced…

Most large financial institutions have stress testing programs that appear complete. Scenario design, macro-linkage calibration, and capital projection frameworks all meet DFAST, CCAR, and IFRS 9 expectations on paper. The methodology is sound. The credit data feeding those scenarios is often not. Traditional rating agencies cover only about 10–15% of entities in a typical bank […] The post Credi…

Financial stability is a fundamental condition for sustainable economic growth, and the quality of bank assets plays a central role in maintaining such stability. Non-performing loans (NPLs) are widely regarded as one of the most important indicators of banking sector health, reflecting the level of credit risk and potential financial vulnerability (International Monetary Fund [IMF], 2019). This …

Although climate and nature related scenario analysis is increasingly important in finance, there is still no operational framework that translates long horizon environmental scenarios into counterparty credit risk measures for pricing and regulatory capital. We propose an environmental valuation adjustment framework for CVA with three components: (i) a scenario to credit translation that maps en…

This study introduces a deterministic and governance-constrained credit decision framework that integrates stochastic risk modeling, irreversibility-aware capital dynamics, network-based systemic risk, liquidity constraints, information uncertainty, and causal inference. Unlike traditional credit risk models that focus on probabilistic prediction, the proposed AXION FinTech AI framework formalize…
