Credit risk management: managing geopolitical uncertainty and emerging ESG risks
About the course
Managing emerging geopolitical and ESG-related risks plague credit risk professionals as political instability increases, and global markets become more interconnected, resulting in a greater impact on credit risk frameworks. This course equips participants with the skills to integrate these risks into their existing models and frameworks by examining how events, such as governance failures, impact key metrics and reshaping risk appetite to meet supervisory scrutiny. Participants will explore the limitations of traditional modelling, specifically when dealing with insufficient data and learn how to design and apply tailored scenario analysis techniques.
Designed for credit risk professionals, our course provides actionable insights for identifying, assessing, and managing novel risks in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment.
