GCD is a unique data consortium that owns banks internal data for both PD and LGD. GCD’s data pools support the key parameters of banks’ credit risk modelling: Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), Exposure at Default (EAD).
GCD’s library gives access to wide variety of publications on risk related topics. Global Credit Data members work together to analyse the data and discuss methodology issues. GCD has published numerous papers and is actively promoting academic research on the data collected.
Members not only benefit from exclusive rights and access to credit databases and analytics, but also from knowledge and research facilitation possible via the unique industry association.
Through a variety of forums such as workshops, webinars and surveys, GCD is an active industry participant facilitating the discussion in key strategic areas.
Global Credit Data collects raw data from its members and distributes it back to them for use in their own analysis and modelling. GCD supports its members by providing a flexible high-end tool on the data pool: the GCD Visual Analyzer. Member banks can create dynamic Reference Data Sets and generate instant views on the data.
The governance of the Global Credit Data Consortium (GCD) is laid down in the Articles of Association and the bodies empowered by GCD’s statutory documents are the General Meeting, the Board, the Methodology Committee and the Meetings of Data Pool members. The Methcom has delegated some of its responsibilities to specific Methcom Subcommittees for each datapool.
The charter of the subcommittee sets out the mandate, composition and procedures of the subcommittee.
