RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKING SECTOR

1.1 THEME OF THE STUDY


Risk management underscores the fact that the survival of an organization depends heavily on its capabilities to anticipate and prepare for the change rather than just waiting for the change and react to it. The objective of risk management is not to prohibit or prevent risk taking activity, but to ensure that the risks are consciously taken with full knowledge, purpose and clear understanding so that it can be measured and mitigated. It also prevents an institution from suffering unacceptable loss causing an institution to suffer or materially damage its competitive position. Functions of risk management should actually be bank specific dictated by the size and uality of balance sheet, comple!ity of functions, technical" professional manpower and the status of #I$ in place in that bank.

1.2 INTRODUCTION
Risk: the meaning of %Risk& as per 'ebster&s comprehensive dictionary is (a chance of encountering harm or loss, hazard, danger) or (to e!pose to a chance of injury or loss). Thus, something that has potential to cause harm or loss to one or more planned objectives is called Risk. The word risk is derived from an Italian word (Risicare) which means (To *are). It is an e!pression of danger of an adverse deviation in the actual result from any e!pected result. +anks for International $ettlement ,+I$- has defined it as. (Risk is the threat that an event or action will adversely affect an organization&s ability to achieve its objectives and successfully e!ecute its strategies.) Risk Manage en!: Risk #anagement is a planned method of dealing with the potential loss or damage. It is an ongoing process of risk appraisal through various methods and tools which continuously /ssess what could go wrong *etermine which risks are important to deal with Implement strategies to deal with those risks

2.1 INTRODUCTION
Base+ I A..$-,: The +asel 1ommittee on +anking $upervision, which came into e!istence in 789:, volunteered to develop a framework for sound banking practices internationally. In 78;; the full set of recommendations was documented and given to the 1entral banks of the countries for implementation to suit their national systems. This is called the +asel 1apital /ccord or +asel I /ccord. It provided level playing field by stipulating the amount of capital that needs to be maintained by internationally active banks. Base+ II A..$-,: +anking has changed dramatically since the +asel I document of 78;;. /dvances in risk management and the increasing comple!ity of financial activities " instruments ,like options, hybrid securities etc.- prompted international supervisors to review the appropriateness of regulatory capital standards under +asel I. To meet this re uirement, the +asel I accord was amended and refined, which came out as the +asel II accord. The new proposal is based on three mutually reinforcing pillars that allow banks and supervisors to evaluate properly the various risks that banks have to face and realign regulatory capital more closely with underlying risks. <ach of these three pillars has risk mitigation as its central board. The new risk sensitive approach seeks to strengthen the safety and soundness of the industry by focusing on0 = Risk based capital ,4illar 7= Risk based supervision ,4illar >= Risk disclosure to enforce market discipline ,4illar ?-

2.2.1 THE FIRST PI##AR 9 MINIMUM CAPITA# RE:UIREMENTS


The first pillar sets out minimum capital re uirement for the bank. The new framework maintains minimum capital re uirement of ;@ of risk assets. +asel II focuses on improvement in measurement of risks. The revised credit risk measurement methods are more elaborate than the current accord. It proposes for the first time, a measure for operational risk, while the market risk measure remains unchanged.

2.2.2 THE SECOND PI##AR ; SUPER2ISORY RE2IE4 PROCESS


$upervisory review process has been introduced to ensure not only that bank have ade uate capital to support all the risks, but also to encourage them to develop and use better risk management techni ues in monitoring and managing their risks. The process has four key principles. a- +anks should have a process for assessing their overall capital ade uacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for monitoring their capital levels. b- $upervisors should review and evaluate bank&s internal capital ade uacy assessment and strategies, as well as their ability to monitor and ensure their compliance with regulatory capital ratios. c- $upervisors should e!pect banks to operate above the minimum regulatory capital ratios and should have the ability to re uire banks to hold capital in e!cess of the minimum. d- $upervisors should seek to intervene at an early stage to prevent capital from decreasing below minimum level and should re uire rapid remedial action if capital is not mentioned or restored.

2.2." THE THIRD PI##AR 9 MARKET DISCIP#INE


#arket discipline imposes strong incentives to banks to conduct their business in a safe, sound and effective manner. It is proposed to be effected through a series of disclosure re uirements on capital, risk e!posure etc. so that market participants can assess a bank&s capital ade uacy. These disclosures should be made at least semi.annually and more fre uently if appropriate. 5ualitative disclosures such as risk management objectives and policies, definitions etc. may be published annually.

2." TYPES OF RISKS


'hen we use the term (Risk), we all mean financial risk or une!pected financial loss. If we consider risk in terms of probability or occur fre uently, we measure risk on a scale, with certainty of occurrence at one end and certainty of non.occurrence at the other end. Risk is the greatest phenomena where the probability of occurrence or non.occurrence is e ual. /s per the Reserve +ank of India guidelines issued in Act. 7888, there are three major types of risks encountered by the banks and these are 1redit Risk, #arket Risk B Aperational Risk. Further after eliciting views of banks on the draft guidelines on 1redit Risk #anagement and market risk management, the R+I has issued the final guidelines and advised some of the large 4$C banks to implement so as to gauge the impact. Risk is the potentiality that both the e!pected and une!pected events may have an adverse impact on the bank&s capital or its earnings. The e!pected loss is to be borne by the borrower and hence is taken care of by ade uately pricing the products through risk premium and reserves created out of the earnings. It is the amount e!pected to be lost due to changes in credit uality resulting in default. 'here as, the une!pected loss on account of the individual e!posure and the whole portfolio is entirely borne by the bank itself and hence care should be taken. Thus, the e!pected losses are covered by reserves"provisions and the une!pected losses re uire capital allocation.

2.".1 CREDIT RISK


In the conte!t of +asel II, the risk that the obligor ,borrower or counterparty- in respect of a particular asset will default in full or in part on the obligation to the bank in relation to the asset is termed as 1redit Risk. 1redit Risk is defined as.(The risk of loss arising from outright default due to inability or unwillingness of the customer or counter party to meet commitments in relation to lending, trading, hedging, settlement and other financial transaction of the customer or counter party to meet commitments). 1redit Risk is also defined, (as the potential that a borrower or counter party will fail to meets its obligations in accordance in agreed terms).

BABASAB PATIL

RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKING SECTOR

2.".2 MARKET RISK


It is defined as (the possibility of loss caused by changes in the market variables such as interest rate, foreign e!change rate, e uity price and commodity price). It is the risk of losses in, various balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices. R+I has defined market risk as the possibility of loss to a bank caused by changes in the market rates" prices. R+I Duidance Eote focus on the management of li uidity Risk and #arket Risk, further categorized into interest rate risk, foreign e!change risk, commodity price risk and e uity price risk. #arket risk includes the risk of the degree of volatility of market prices of bonds, securities, e uities, commodities, foreign e!change rate etc., which will change daily profit and loss over timeF it&s the risk of une!pected changes in prices or rates. It also addresses the issues of +anks ability to meets its obligation as and when due, in other words, li uidity risk.

2."." OPERATIONA# RISK


Aperational risk is the risk associated with the operations of an organization. It is defined as (risk of loss resulting from inade uate or failed internal process, people and systems or from e!ternal events.) It includes legal risk. It e!cludes strategic and reputational risks, as the same are not uantifiable. Aperational risk includes the risk of loss arising from fraud, system failures, trading error and many other internal organizational risks as well as risk due to e!ternal events such as fire, flood etc. the losses due to operation risk can be direct as well as indirect. *irect loss means the financial losses resulting directly from an incident or an event. <.g. forgery, fraud etc. indirect loss means the loss incurred due to the impact of an incident.

2.".0 REGU#ATORY RISK


The owned funds alone are managed by an entity, it is natural that very few regulators operate and supervise them. 2owever, as banks accept deposit from public obviously better governance is e!pected from them. This entails multiplicity of regulatory controls. #any +anks, having already gone for public issue, have a greater responsibility and accountability in this regard. /s banks deal with public funds and money, they are subject to various regulations. The various regulators include Reserve +ank of India ,R+I-, $ecurities <!change +oard of India ,$<+I-, *epartment of 1ompany /ffairs ,*1/-, etc. #ore over, banks should ensure compliance of the applicable provisions of The +anking Regulation /ct, The 1ompanies /ct, etc. Thus all the banks run the risk of multiple regulatory.risks which inhibits free growth of business as focus on compliance of too many regulations leave little energy scope and time for developing new business. +anks should learn the art of playing their business activities within the regulatory controls.

2.".3 EN2IRONMENTA# RISK


/s the years roll the technological advancement takes place, e!pectation of the customers change and enlarges. 'ith the economic liberalization and globalization, more national and international players are operating the financial markets, particularly in the banking field. This provides the platform for environmental change and e!posure of the bank to the environmental risk. Thus, unless the banks improve their delivery channels, reach customers, innovate their products that are service orientedF they are e!posed to the environmental risk.

2.0 BASE#<S NE4 CAPITA# ACCORD


+ankers& for International $ettlement ,+I$- meet at +asel situated at $witzerland to address the common issues concerning bankers all over the world. The +asel 1ommittee on +anking $upervision ,+1+$- is a committee of banking supervisory authorities of D.7G countries and has been developing standards and establishment of a framework for bank supervision towards strengthening financial stability through out the world. In consultation with the supervisory authorities of a few non.D.7G countries including India, core principles for effective banking supervision in the form of minimum re uirements to strengthen current supervisory regime, were mooted. The 78;; 1apital /ccord essentially provided only one option for measuring the appropriate capital in relation to the risk weighted assets of the financial institution. It focused on the total amount of bank capital so as to reduce the risk of bank solvency at the potential cost of bank&s failure for the depositors. /s an improvement on the above, the Eew 1apital /ccord was published in >GG7 by +asel 1ommittee of +anking $upervision. It provides spectrum of approaches for the measurement of credit, market and operational risks to determine the capital re uired. The spread and nature of the ownership structure is important as it impinges on the propensity to induct additional capital. 'hile getting support from a large body of shareholders is a difficult proposition when the bank&s performance is adverse, a smaller shareholder base constrains the ability of the bank to garner funds. Tier I capital is not owed to anyone and is available to cover possible une!pected losses. It has no maturity or repayment re uirement, and is e!pected to remain a permanent component of the core capital of the counter party. 'hile +asel standards currently re uire banks to have a capital ade uacy ratio of ;@ with Tier I not less than :@, R+I has mandated the banks to maintain 1/R of 8@. The maintenance of capital ade uacy ratio is like aiming at a moving target as the composition of risk.weighted assets gets changed every now and then on account of fluctuations in the risk profile of a bank. Tier I capital is known as the core capital providing permanent and readily available support to the bank to meet the une!pected losses. In the recent past, owners of 4$C banks, the government provided ade uate capital to weaker banks to ease the burden. In doing so, the government was not acting as a prudent investor as return on such capital was never a consideration. Further, capital infusion did not result in any cash flow to the receiver, as all the capital was re uired to be reinvested in government securities yielding low returns. Receipt of capital was just a book entry with the only advantage of income from the securities.

2.3 CAPITA# ADE:UACY


$ubse uent to nationalization of banks, capitalization in banks was not given due importance as it was felt necessary for the reason that the ownership of the banks rested with the government, creating the re uired confidence in the mind of the public. 1ombined forces of globalization and liberalization compelled the public sector banks, hitherto shielded from the vagaries of market forces, come by the condition of terms market realities, where certain minimum capital ade uacy has to be maintained in the face of stiff norms in respect of income recognition, asset classification and provisioning. It is clear that multi pronged approach would be re uired to meet the challenges of maintaining capital at ade uate levels in the face of mounting risks in the banking sector. In banks, asset creation is an event happening subse uent to the capital formation and deposit mobilization.

2.= RISK AGGREGATION > CAPITA# A##OCATION


1apital /de uacy in relation to economic risk is a necessary condition for the long.term soundness of banks. /ggregate risk e!posure is estimated through Risk /djusted Return on 1apital ,R/RA1- and <arnings at Risk ,<aR- method. Former is used by bank with international presence and the R/RA1 process estimates the cost of <conomic 1apital B e!pected losses that may prevail in the worst.case scenario and then e uates the capital cushion to be provided for the potential loss. R/RA1 is the first step towards e!amining the institution&s entire balance sheet on a mark to market basis, if only to understand the risk return trade off that have been made. /s banks carry on the business on a wide area network basis, it is critical that they are able to continuously monitor the e!posures across the entire organization and aggregate the risks so that an integrated view can be taken. The <conomic 1apital is the amount of the capital ,besides the Regulatory 1apital- that the firm has to put at risk so as to cover the potential loss under the e!treme market conditions. In other words, it is the difference in mark.to.market value of assets over liabilities that the bank should aim at or target. /s against this, the regulatory capital is the actual 1apital Funds held by the bank against the Risk 'eighted /ssets. /fter measuring the economic capital for the bank as a whole, bank&s actual capital has to be allocated to individual business units on the basis of various types of risks. This process can be continued till capital is allocated at transaction"customer level.

2.? RISK BASED SUPER2ISION @RBSA


The Reserve +ank of India presently has its supervisory mechanism by way of on.site inspection and off.site monitoring on the basis of the audited balance sheet of a bank. In order to enhance the supervisory mechanism, the R+I has decided to put in place, a system of Risk +ased $upervision. Cnder risk based supervision, supervisors are e!pected to concentrate their efforts on ensuring that financial institutions use the process necessarily to identify measure and control risk e!posure. The R+$ is e!pected to focus supervisory attention in accordance with the risk profile of the bank. The R+I has already structured the risk profile templates to enable the bank to make a self.assessment of their risk profile. It is designed to ensure continuous monitoring and evaluation of risk profile of the institution through risk matri!. This may optimize the utilization of the supervisory resources of the R+I so as to minimize the impact of a crises situation in the financial system. The transaction based audit and supervision is getting shifted to risk focused audit. Risk based supervision approach is an attempt to overcome the deficiencies in the traditional point.in.time, transaction. validation and value based supervisory system. It is forward looking enabling the supervisors to differentiate between banks to focus attention on those having high.risk profile. The implementation of risk based auditing would imply that greater emphasis is placed on the internal auditor&s role for mitigating risks. +y focusing on effective risk management, the internal auditor would not only offer remedial measures for current trouble.prone areas, but also anticipate problems to play an active role in protecting the bank from risk hazards.

2.B RISK MANAGEMENT: KEYS FOR EFFECTI2E RISK MANAGEMENT:


To direct risk behaviour B influence the shape of a firm&s risk profile, management should use all available options. Csing financial incentives and penalties to influence risk taking behaviour is effective management tool. $haring of information by keeping confidentiality intact is also helpful to find out different ways for controlling the risk as valuable inputs may be received through this sharing. <ven information on creditworthiness of counterparties that are known to take substantial risk can also help. *iversification is e!tremely important. /s it lowers the variance in investor portfolios, improves corporate ability to raise debt, reduces employment risks, B heightens operating efficiency. Dovernance should never be ignored. 1areful structuring of the alliance in advance of the deal and continual adjustment thereafter help to build a constructive relationship. Ane should not trust while in business. 4ersonal chemistry is good but is no substitute for monitoring mechanism, co.operation incentives, B organizational alignment. 'ithout support system within the organization itself, e!ternal alliances are doomed to fail.

2.B.1 MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT:


'e may believe that there are limited tools available to mitigate this risk, but this is not so. Future, option, derivatives trading and its many sub types are some of the tools which help to investors to protect the investment or minimize there e!posure toward market risk. In case of derivatives as in broader sense derivatives are considered to be used to hedge against market risk, but they can be used to mitigate various other types of risks, like credit risk, operational risk. The importance of managing market risk has now been well understood by financial institutions and corporate across the world. #arket risk has made the global financial conditions uncertain and unsettled and still recovery of problem is not visible in the near time.

2.B.2 CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

2.12 CHA##ENGES FOR INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM UNDER BASE# II

C$s!+6 Da!a(ase C-ea!i$n an, Main!enan.e P-$.ess: The most obvious impact of +/$<3 II is the need for improved risk management and measurement. It aims to give impetus to the use of internal rating system by the international banks.

A,,i!i$na+ Ca*i!a+ Re85i-e en!: 2ere is a worrying aspect that some of the banks will not be able to put up the additional capital to comply with the new regulation and they may be isolated from the global banking system.

#a-ge P-$*$-!i$n $7 NPAFs: / large number of Indian banks have significant proportion of E4/Is in their assets. /long with that a large proportion of loans of banks are of poor uality. There is a danger that a large number of banks will not be able to restructure and survive in the new environment. This may lead to forced mergers of many defunct banks with the e!isting ones and a loss of capital to the banking system as a whole.

In.-ease, P-$;C6.+i.a+i!6: The increased importance to credit ratings under +asel II could actually imply that the minimum re uirements could become pro.cyclical as banks are re uired to raise capital levels for loans in times of economic crises.

#$% Deg-ee $7 C$-*$-a!e Ra!ing Pene!-a!i$n: India has as few as three established rating agencies and the level of rating penetration is not very significant as, so far, ratings are restricted to issues and not issuers. 'hile +asel II gives some scope to e!tend the rating of issues to issuers, this would only be an appro!imation and it would be necessary for the system to move to ratings of issuers. <ncouraging ratings of issuers would be a challenge.

C-$ss B$-,e- Iss5es 7$- F$-eign Banks: In India, foreign banks are statutorily re uired to maintain local capital and the following issues are re uired to be resolvedF 7. Jalidation of the internal models approved by their head offices and home country supervisor adopted by the Indian branches of foreign banks. >. *ate history maintained and used by the bank should be distinct for the Indian branches compared to the global data used by the head office ?. capital for operational risk should be maintained separately for the Indian branches in India

2.10 IMPACT OF BASE# II IMP#EMENTATION ON THE INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRY


1. C&anges in Ca*i!a+ Risk 4eig&!e, Asse!s Ra!i$ @CRARA: #ost of the banks are already adhering to the +asel II guidelines. 2owever, the Dovernment has indicated that a cushion should be maintained by the public sector banks and therefore their 1R/R should be above 7>@. +asel I focused largely on credit risk, whereas +asel II has ? risks to be considered, viz., credit risk, operational risk and market risks. /s +asel II considers all these ? risks, there are chances of a decline in the 1apital /de uacy Ratio. 2. Hig& .$s!s 7$- 5*;g-a,a!i$n $7 !e.&n$+$g6: Full implementation of the +asel II framework would re uire up.gradation of the bank.wide information systems through better branch. connectivity, which would entail huge costs and may raise IT.security issues. The implementation of +asel II can also raise issues relating to development of 2R skills and database management. $mall and medium sized banks may have to incur enormous costs to ac uire re uired technology, as well as to train staff in terms of the risk management activities. There will be a need for technological up gradation and access to information like historical data etc. ". Ra!ing -isks: 4roblems embedded in +asel II norms include rating of risks by rating agencies. 'hether the country has ade uate number of rating agencies to discharge the functions in a +asel II compliant banking system, is a uestion for consideration. Further, to what e!tent the rating agencies can be relied upon is also a matter of debate. <ntry norms for recognition of rating agencies should be stricter. Anly firms with international e!perience or background in ratings business should be allowed to enter. This is necessarily given that the Indian rating industry is in its growth phase, especially with the implementation of new +asel II capital norms that encourage companies to get rated. 0.

The reason for conducting this survey was to establish how these new regulations were perceived in terms of priority, urgency and interest within the banks. In addition, aim is to provide a view on strategic issues and to report on key trends related to many aspects of compliance within the +asel II regulatory framework. Finally, to make recommendations on the opportunities offered by the new regulations for the risk management process.

Page 54

RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKING SECTOR

3.1 FINDINGS
1redit risk is generally well contained, but there are still problems associated with loan classification, loan loss provisioning, and the absence of consolidated accounts. #arket risk and Aperational risk are clear challenge, as they are relatively new to the areas that were not well developed under the original +asel 1apital /ccord. The new regulations will allow banks to introduce substantial improvements in their overall risk management capabilities, improving risk based performance measurement, capital allocation as portfolio management techni ues. Future comple!ity is e!pected because banks diversify their operations. It is e!pected that banks will diversify their operations to generate additional income sources, particularly fee.based income i.e. non interest income, to improve returns. +asel II leads to increase in *ata collection and maintenance of privacy and security in various issues. The banks that would prefer to adopt the $tandard /pproach should try to adopt /dvanced /pproach.

BABASAB PATIL

Page 55

RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKING SECTOR

3.2 SUGGESTIONS
The +anks should review +asel II components and develop a vision, strategy and action plan for what is e!pected to be a suitable framework based on how the banking system evolves over time. The +anks need regular engagement for sustained support. / ualified long.term advisor would be preferable. / workshop should be planned to produce a road map to +asel II 1ompliance.

=.1 CONC#USION

Implementation of +asel II has been described as a long journey rather than a destination by itself. Cndoubtedly, it would re uire commitment of substantial capital and human resources on the part of both banks and the supervisors. R+I has decided to follow a consultative process while implementing +asel II norms and move in a gradual, se uential and co.ordinate manner. For this purpose, dialogue has already been initiated with the stakeholders. /s envisaged by the +asel 1ommittee, the accounting profession too, will make a positive contribution in this respect to make Indian banking system still stronger.
