Top Page > Corporate Profile > Credit Risk Management Credit Risk Management       Credit risks are the risks to suffer losses by decreasing or losing the values of the assets due to credit events such as deterioration in the financial standing of a counterparty.       We try to sustain and improve the soundness of the assets by strictly managing overall credit risks.       More precisely, Risk Management Department assesses credit risks according to in-house ratings, and quantifies and manages credit risks using a default rate for each in-house rating. Furthermore, to complement management by quantification, we implement stress tests. On the other hand, for credit control, Risk Management Department screens client companies and loan transactions and sets the amounts for transaction limitation for each client, while business operation department manages the said amounts for transaction limitation. In addition, each department implements rigid self-assessment of those assets for which they hold jurisdiction.        Additionally, for each loan transaction, as a general rule, we take adequate collateral. By implementing a daily marking to the market of the relevant collaterals, we suppress occurrences of impaired loans. In a case where a borrower falls into bankruptcy, by selling off collateral securities and so forth, we collect receivables in an expeditious manner. In-house Rating System       We introduced a rating system which segmentalizes credit ratings of client companies into 6 ranks, based on ratings by external credit rating agencies, quantitative assessment of financial standing, obligor classifications used in self-assessment, and so forth. With this system, we assess the levels of credit risks properly, quantify credit risks, and set up amount for transaction limitation. Stress Tests       Since VaR is statistical estimated figure, it cannot include possible losses, which can be caused by extreme market fluctuation such as Black Monday or economic crisis (stress event). In this situation, to be prepared for unforeseeable circumstances, we implement stress tests to calculate amount of losses in a case of occurrence of stress event based on data in the past or on hypothetical scenarios and assess the soundness of our financial management.
