Stress-Testing Credit, Market and Operational Risk

Stress-Testing Credit, Market and Operational Risk
A Three-part Online Training Program

Date: 13^th - 15^th October 2021

WHY THIS COURSE?

Stress-testing is essential to banks and regulators. It forms the backbone of a bank’s ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process), and answers whether a bank could withstand extreme but plausible scenarios which would impact its profitability, liquidity, and capital adequacy. However, stress-testing is complicated. It requires an integrated approach dealing with how scenarios should be selected and calibrated, and how scenarios are translated into financial impact whilst respecting the interrelationships between risk types.

This course has been designed for practitioners needing to understand how to implement and/or improve stress-testing frameworks in their banks. Since credit risk is central to the business models of most financial institutions, the course takes a deep-dive into credit risk stress-testing by building trajectories of PDs (probabilities of default) based on stress scenario parameters, and translating these into financial impact by applying the staging rules of IFRS9. Stress-testing scenarios for market risk are illustrated by stressing interest-rate risk in the banking book, and applying value-at-risk based techniques to portfolios of traded securities and currency exposures. Operational risk stress-testing is illustrated and explained for high-frequency low impact events and low-frequency high impact events.

The course provides significant opportunity for discussion and questions, and is aided most importantly by several clear illustrations and examples which assist in learning multiple methodologies and techniques for immediate and direct application in practice.

Key Learning Objectives and Takeaways:

Learn essential methodologies applied by banks for integrated stress testing
Understand techniques used to relate stress testing scenarios to their resulting impact on bank earnings and capital adequacy
Analyze a full, end-to-end case study providing a summary of techniques on credit, market and operational risk stress-testing

AGENDA

Part 1: Overview and credit risk stress-testing

Overview of stress testing
- What is stress testing and why do we need it?
- Where does stress testing fit within a bank’s overall risk management framework?
Sensitivities versus scenarios
- What’s the difference?
- How are they used?
- Why are scenarios more useful than sensitivities?
Bank-level and macroeconomic factors impacting credit risk, e.g., credit moratoriums
How do banks build informative stress scenarios?
How do banks calibrate normal versus stressed scenarios?
How do banks translate stress scenarios into resulting financial impact?
- The application of IFRS9 in stress testing
- Quantitative methods calculating stressed PDs for loan-loss reserves

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.

Ken is a British Muslim.
