Address non-payment risk
In a credit relation in general, the risk that a debtor may no longer be able to meet its obligations to the creditor – for example, due to insolvency. – From a bank’s point of view, this risk is generally all the more dangerous the higher the concentration of counterparties is to be assessed, i.e. business relationships – with only a few customers, – with borrowers who are economically linked, or – which depend on a similar risk factor – for example, agricultural businesses or companies from the main construction sector on the weather, or automotive suppliers on vehicle sales. Measurement techniques such as the Gini coefficient attempt to calculate this risk. – See equities, cyclical, asset quality, default risk, defaults, construction industry, deposit insurance, money market segments, Gini coefficient, granularity, group of connected customers, Herfindahl-Hirschman index, Herstatt default, intercreditor agreement, Klumprisiko, counterparty risk, concentration risk, correlation risk, special, credit event, lending principle, credit insurance, accumulation, customer, bad, air securities, million credit, normal distribution doctrine, solvency risk, denomination, overflow system, valueat-risk, value, cyclical, replacement risk. – Cf.
