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.
This WG meeting is set up to discuss the proposed key activities in the working group in 2017. a) a “quantitative study” to support the calibration process (H1/2017) and b) a “methodogolical survey” on validation and calibration methods (H2/2017), together with the working "Validation" Contact person:Daniela Thakkar Location:Webex call

Working Group meeting Location:Webex
In an open atmosphere and with a small group of practictioners from the modelling and validation departments, we discussed the various data collections run by GCD at the moment. Member banks used the possibility to share notes and thoughts on benchmarking with peers in the Nordic region. The agenda included: • the new GCD Benchmarking platform (where many Nordics have indicated to participate), • the usage of the GCD Rating and Defaults database for the Nordics region, • the GCD proposal to run a special IFRS 9 quantitative impact study and • other topics relevant for Nordic members.
