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.

Access the Library 

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.

Business Use Cases of GCD Data: Valuation of Non-Performing Loans

Valuing NPL is the base for portfolio and capital management and requires to project ultimate recoveries using the best available data. The volume of legacy NPL on banks’ balance sheets will be augmented sensitively by the potentially hard recession that may result from the covid19 pandemic. Burkhard Heppe from NPL Markets and Richard Crecel from Global Credit Data will discuss the current situation of NPL buyers and sellers, the need for "bad loans banks" and how valuation platforms and a structured loan loss data collection can help in times of the Covid-19 crisis.

2020 GCD Survey

Risk Modeling is more important than ever The world is facing an uncertain time. Economic growth and/or recovery rates are uncertain, default rates are uncertain and the rate of credit losses on those defaults is uncertain. Even the right way to model these risks is not certain. This survey is designed to spark critical thinking and conversations within bank wholesale model development teams and to give them a unique insight into how their peers are set up, how they model risks and how they are adjusting to account for the Covid-19 pandemic. In exchange for your response, you will receive the full anonymized results, providing critical context and insight to inform your thinking and discussions. The sections of the survey include: Section 1: Segmentation of Rating Models Section 2: Rating Grades of PD Model Section 3: Development and Implementation of Rating Models Section 4: Model Performance Section 5: Overlays Section 6: Pandemic Related Questions Section 7: Provision impacts (CECL /IFRS)   The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.  Please take some time to complete the GCD 2020 survey and share your insight with us.  Survey 2020
