Details

Gain an understanding of specific issues that will make or break a systemic bank over the next few years. This book will guide you in the setting of risk sensitive limits and pricing across your SIFI exposures and the specific economic capital implications of doing business on the wholesale markets will be quantified.

Systematically important financial institutions (SIFIs) have become the focus of legislation and regulatory reform due to issues concerning their consolidated supervision and regulation following the recent financial crisis. Until the crisis, exposures to systemic entities had been assumed to be largely risk free and wholesale financial markets thrived on large volumes of bilateral activity among the main institutions. This system broke down back in 2007-08 and these institutions have become more reluctant to deal with each other.

This book, edited by SIFIs expert Federico Galizia, outlines the evolution of the key wholesale markets on which SIFIs operate and the new regulations affecting those markets. It provides practical advice on managing concentration, maturity and counterparty risk in money, foreign exchange, derivative and credit markets. The contributors outline key procedures that the largest banks should have in place in order to ensure that their business model is resilient under a new risk management paradigm. Chapters examine topics such as:

-   Banking industry ratings
-   Leverage
-   Systemic wrong way risk
-   The OTC derivatives market
-   Economic and regulatory capital

With contributions from regulators and banking practitioners as well as academics and consultants, the book offers a broad range of excellent advice and commentary on this topical and complex issue.
