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.

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, […]

The two day conference had been a mix of plenary presentations and breakout sessions: Member banks have presented different approaches on how to deal with the challenges credit risk modelling is currently facing when it comes to modelling LGD, EaD and PD for various purposes within a bank. Participants had also the chance to see Analytics presentations on the GCD data and engage in our "Peer Discussion sessions".

Webinar “Benchmarking CECL estimates before Day 1 implementation”

The year 2019 will be a busy one for all US Banks. With banks, standardsetters and regulators still engaged in a debate about what implementation of the CECL standard for Day 1, there are only 11 month left before public firms “go live” on CECL. The principle-based nature of the standard means that the remaining time needs to be spent on testing assumptions and validating approaches. For many banks, attention is on finalizing implementation plans and to kick-start the parallel run. GCD has partnered with Accenture and the IIF to help U.S. financial institutions benchmark their CECL models in this critical phase and beyond Day 1 compliance.  We offer all financial institutions (global banks, community banks, regionals banks, specialty financer, insurers, ...) to benchmark their ECL estimates on a standardized portfolio. Implementation of similar approaches (e.g. IFRS 9) proved that it is important to not stay siloed: knowing where your ECL estimations are in comparison to your peers allow you to act fast and ahead of the game.   The excercise will include various scenarios, including a stress scenario. In the last weeks, a core group of banks has designed the template, tailored it to the US market and developped the roadmap for 2019. Please listen to our […]
