Agenda

The GCD Board Members and Executives extended a warm welcome to the attendees for the two-day, action-packed conference.

Hans Elbracht, Head of Model Risk Management at KfW, shared his insights on how to structure the model landscape and key areas for improvement.

During the presentation titled "Non-IRB LGD/EAD models as input for IFRS 9 and economic capital" by Rui Costa, Head of Cross Model Analytics at Wholesale Banking at ING, shared that it is important for banks to use external data. Discussing with peers and using external data like GCD helps substantiate some of our assumptions.

During the coffee breaks, attendees had the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and build valuable connections.

During the conference, we received insights from Oana Maria Georgescu at ECB on the joint study by GCD-ECB, which looks into the sensitivity of loss-given-default to macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, there was a panel discussion focusing on topics such as Risk Modelling, Regulatory Compliance, and Beyond. Panel moderator; Matias Eklöf (FCG) and Panelists; Maz Khan (HSBC), Remy Haimet (Société Générale), Dilek Izek (Oliver Wyman)
