What calculations are need to produce a figure for any of the following types of risk?:
- Credit risk
- Foreign exchange risk
- Liquidity Risk
I have key financial data, balance sheet and profit and loss figures for UK banking industry, just not sure how to apply it. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
ANS: Credit risk is a loss of Principal Amount due to the borrower's Failure of repaying of loan.
Credit Risk is directly proportional to the Overall Re-paying capacity of the buyer to repay the loan
Calutations
Foreign Exchange risk is risk caused due to Foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As per Accounting Standard - 11 " THE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES" the loss & gain shall be recognised depending upon the difference between Buying & Selling rates, which must be recognised as Income or Expense
Liquidity risk Helps the investors to sell the assets or convert to cash. Liquidity risk is the difference between Bid & Ask Spread (Bid rate - Ask Rate )* number of shares.
Note: All above Risk are discussed, you can apply above information to calculate those risks depending upon the data available in your Financial Statements.
