How regional banks maintain their ability to act despite COVID-19
Our COVID-19 program for bank management and treasury at regional banks
Our approach
The Corona crisis will inevitably lead to changes in balance sheets. Risk parameters are moving beyond ranges previously assumed to be plausible, leading to breaches in risk limits.
In the aftermath of immediate emergency measures (i.e. avoiding unnecessary credit defaults), it is crucial to regain control over your risk appetite by
- rapidly defining the target balance sheet and portfolio structure in line with updated risk assumptions and expected developments on an industry level
- cascade the target balance into adjusted sector and counterparty limits and, at a later stage,
- providing guidance on expected future margins and returns.
Based on the newly defined risk appetite, underwriting processes and risk assessment tools (e.g. credit assessment) must be adjusted accordingly.
