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).

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.

WG IFRS 9 #2/2018: Approval of final templates for IFRS 9 Benchmarking study 2018

Dear members of the IFRS 9 working group,  in the last weeks, I had with many of you calls on the IFRS 9 Benchmarking study H1/2018 , including how to further develop the IFRS 9 Benchmarking study.  For those, we are interested in joining the study this summer (timeline to deliver the templates: June 30th, 2018) I kindly invite you to a final call to discuss and approve the templates for this round.   Important note to EBA-regulated banks: Next to benchmarking the ECL under the “own scenario set” and under “the common scenario”, we aim to integrate a benchmarking of the hypothetical portfolio under stress, based on the stress scenarios of the EBA stresstest 2018. Happy to hear if you have any special considerations on this subject. Other changes in comparison with the templates of last year: Mortgage section further elaborated Credit card portfolio included Banks & Non-bank Financial Companies included Additional countries Stage Allocation (Stage 1 to Stage 2 movement) further elaborated I will explain everything in the meeting next Monday. Please use the link below to book the meeting in your agenda. I will also send around minutes and the final templates after the call. In case of any questions or special […]

Webinar on CECL methodological survey 2018

At the moment, GCD is running a CECL Methodology survey sponsored by Global Credit Data, the IIF and Accenture. The survey is intended to provide comparative information on bank’s planned methodologies for implementation of CECL. The questions are focused on credit data and modeling for the C&I CRE and Consumer portfolios. We plan to follow the survey with a benchmarking exercise to commence in the early fall. We expect to provide a summary report and analysis to participants by mid-August. In addition, the anonymized data can be made available so that banks can conduct their own analysis. The survey was designed to be completed in less than 40 minutes. Respondents will be able to choose from a menu of methodologies. We received substantial input by leading practitioners to ensure that questions where relevant and methodology choices comprehensive. The deadline for completion of the survey is July 31, 2018 To participate, please use this link: https://www.globalcreditdata.com/lms/index.php/183655?newtest=Y   We also hold a webinar to review the survey and answer any of your questions.

Kick-off new Focus Group on “Bank-internal Economic Risk and Performance Measurement within Basel 2 – Pillar 2”

Member discussion group by web/phone, plus breakout sessions in conferences.  GCD focus groups are run by members and cover topics of interest to members, so the focus may move during the discussions.   Chaired by:  Robbin Tops and Raphael Keller of UBS have offered to chair the focus group   Content:  All Financial institutions need to measure the risks that the institution is running.  •   Regulators require quite rigid risk measurement through Basel Pillar 1 models and stress tests (CCAR in the US) •   CFOs and auditors require expected loss modelling in accordance with their rules of IFRS9 and CECL However the bank needs to have their own view on risk, an internal risk assessment is usually measured using an economic view. For Basel purposes, these models are run as an alternative internal measure of performance and required capital. This process is described  within Pillar 2 of the Basel Accord Economic Capital modelling gives the Board and Management a tool to steer the business and their particular risk mix (risk they deem material) and ensure that the bank has sufficient capital and earnings cushions to cover future downturns. All aspects of internal risk measurement within Pillar 2 will be open for discussion, […]
