Editor's Notes
- #12 The economic capital is the amount of money which is needed to secure the survival in a worst-case scenario, it is a buffer against unexpected shocks in market values. Economic capital is a function of market risk, credit risk, and operational risk, and is often calculated by VaR. This use of capital based on risk improves the capital allocation across different functional areas of banks, insurance companies, or any business in which capital is placed at risk for an expected return above the risk-free rate. RAROC system allocates capital for two basic reasons: Risk management Performance evaluation For risk management purposes, the main goal of allocating capital to individual business units is to determine the bank's optimal capital structure—that is economic capital allocation is closely correlated with individual business risk. As a performance evaluation tool, it allows banks to assign capital to business units based on the economic value added of each unit.

- #23 JR & FB Current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Both financial institutions and users of their financial statements expressed concern that current GAAP restricts the ability to record credit losses that are expected, but do not yet meet the “probable” threshold. The global financial crisis underscored those concerns because users analyzed credit losses by utilizing forward-looking information to assess an entity’s allowance for credit losses on the basis of their own expectations. Consequently, in the lead-up to the financial crisis, users were making estimates of expected credit losses and devaluing financial institutions before accounting losses were recognized, highlighting the different information needs of users from what was required by GAAP. Similarly, financial institutions expressed frustration during this period because they could not record credit losses that they were expecting but had not yet met the probable threshold.

- #26 JR & FB Why a Dual Risk rating system? Examiners review a sample of banks’ internal ratings of loans to determine the adequacy of credit risk administration and identify loans that show undue risk and may be uncollectible The internal ratings that banks produce for all of their loans, are incorporated into how each bank calculates its allowance for loan and lease loss (ALLL), which is an estimate made according to accounting guidance of incurred losses on loans and leases. Therefore, if additional loans are classified substandard or doubtful, this information is included in a bank’s updated ALLL estimates. If loans are classified loss, they are charged off the bank’s balance sheet. Definitions of credit grades should be detailed and clearly delineate risk levels between grades and applied consistently across all business lines. More granularity, more easily identifiable and subsequently actionable.
- #27 JR & FB Determining factors that impact economic capital Probability of Default (PD) Expected credit losses associated with default can be determined from an estimate of the probability of default (PD) during a defined time period Loss Given Default (LGD) An estimate of loss given default based on recent recovery data (net charge off over a period of time) Exposure at Default (EAD) measure of estimated exposure at default Expected losses ($) = PD (%) * LGD (%) * EAD ($) Everyone intuitively expects increased risk to be associated with lower-quality graded loans or loans with higher loss severity, but the allocation of economic capital estimates the level of risk associated with a particular grade level and differentiates risk among those levels.
