Risk Based Pricing of Banking Book Products
A Two-Part, Online Course

Date:  31st May & 1st June 2021

Why This Course?

The accurate pricing of credit risk is essential to the profitability and financial sustainability of banks. Credit losses are an ordinary part of doing business. However, products must be accurately priced so that banks are not only profitable, but recover sufficient revenue from financing transactions to compensate for the inherent risk that obligors may become delinquent or default. Additionally, pricing needs to reflect other factors such as credit risk mitigants and recoverability in the event of default.

This course offers a valuable opportunity for banking practitioners to gain knowledge and skills which can be directly applied to strengthen credit risk management practices through the accurate pricing of products at their inception. The course delivers clear instruction in credit risk pricing techniques applicable to both conventional and Islamic banks, and includes a high level of interactive discussion, thereby affording an opportunity for delegates to master the technical intricacies of pricing credit risk for everyday applications.

  • What Will I Take Away?
    • Understand how credit risk arises at product level in both retail and corporate banking books in conventional and Islamic banks.
    • Learn how to price credit risk using an array of techniques ranging from traditional single obligor credit assessment to more advanced portfolio credit risk models.
    • Learn how to incorporate credit risk mitigants and other relevant factors into product pricing.

EXPERT COURSE DIRECTOR


Dr Ken Baldwin 
Former Director, Financial Policies & Planning, Islamic Development Bank

Dr. Ken Baldwin has worked as a practitioner in banking and finance for over 25 years in senior positions spanning the front and middle offices. Having graduated from Oxford University with a first-class honors degree in Physics in 1989, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PWC, before joining UBS, and then later Credit Suisse, in derivatives risk and control functions based in London.

He gained a PhD in the microeconomic theory of risk sharing in Islamic contracts, and worked in the GCC for 15 years in Islamic retail and Islamic investment banks. Whilst at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dr. Ken built an ALM analytic technology platform capable of capturing liquidity and interest rate risks inherent in the many varied Islamic financing products used at retail and corporate levels. He then moved to take up the position of MENA Regional Head of Quantitative Analysis for Citigroup. At Citicorp, Dr. Ken worked on structuring complex products used by Gulf-regional corporations to hedge FX and interest risks. Still residing in Bahrain, Dr. Ken then joined Investcorp, where he worked on the risk due diligence of corporate private equity and real estate private equity transactions and portfolio management. After leaving Investcorp, he set up the risk management department for venture capital bank, providing Basel III compliance and deal analysis for the bank. He then operationalized a new Islamic investment bank as its Chief Operating Officer for 3 years, before his most recent industry role at the Islamic Development Bank, where he set up and ran a new department tasked with developing Financial Policies and Planning underpinned by robust financial analytic tools and methodologies designed specifically for the IDB. Dr. Ken is currently a senior university lecturer in finance in the UK. He has published quantitative finance articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Risk, and during his earlier career, taught CFA and FRM professional certifications as a pastime for the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance.

Central bank proposes lighter Sukuk rules, temporary incentives to build Philippine market

Read our full daily cover story here: https://www.islamicfinancenews.com/central-bank-proposes-lighter-sukuk-rules-temporary-incentives-to-build-philippine-market.html

LATEST POSTS

September has got off to a strong start for dollar September has got off to a strong start for dollar-denominated Sukuk, with issuance in the first week already matching the combined total raised in July and August.

Four benchmark Sukuk have been printed so far this month: the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)’s US$1.5 billion offering, its second in 2026; Arab National Bank’s US$750 million Additional Tier 1 Sukuk; Kuwait International Bank’s (KIB) unsecured US$500 million paper; and the Saudi government’s US$3.25 billion Sukuk. The dollar pipeline is looking promising with alrajhi bank preparing to tap the market with a Tier 2 social Sukuk.

The Saudi government issuance is notable given that Fitch Ratings had said in July that it was not anticipating any new public external US dollar sovereign Sukuk in the second half of 2026, after Saudi Arabia concluded its funding plan. Malaysia’s US$1.5 billion return to the dollar Sukuk market in July was similarly notable, coming after a five-year hiatus.
