exposure is the possibility of loss.
So; Risk arises as a result of exposure.

• Risk involves choice and the uncertainty that choice
entails
Two characteristics of risk
• Uncertainty – the risk may or may not happen, that is,
there are no 100% risks (those, instead, are called
constraints)
• Loss – the risk becomes a reality and unwanted
consequences or losses occur

credit risk, settlement and payment
system initiatives have been introduced
by or for financial institutions.
Several major international initiatives
have been undertaken to reduce
financial risk and systemic risk.

13. 13
1) Identify possible risks; recognize what can go
wrong
2) Analyze each risk to estimate the probability
that it will occur and the impact (i.e.,
damage) that it will do if it does occur
3) Rank the risks by probability and impact
- Impact may be negligible, marginal,
critical, and catastrophic
4) Develop a contingency plan to manage those
risks having high probability and high
impact
14. I CONCLUDE THAT RISK IS ALWAYS A
DANDEROUS FACTOR IN BUSINESS BUT
AT SOME TIMES BY TAKING RISK LEADS
TO SUCCESS ALSO ALL WOULD HAPPEN
BASING ON EXPERIENCE.
