In 2019 we considered the structural changes ‘risk-aware accounting’ standards – such as International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 and Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) – have made to the vendor landscape, and assessed the new tools and capabilities that financial institutions need to comply effectively. In this report we analyze four key segments of the
credit landscape:
- Credit for the banking book.
- Credit for the trading book (xVA/credit valuation adjustment [CVA]/margin analytics).
- Traded credit markets (credit-risk fixed-income products including corporate credit, collateralized debt obligations [CDOs], collateralized loan obligations [CLOs] and high-yield credit).
- Credit for wealth management.
Highlighting the key trends across all segments of the credit landscape, we focus on analytics, considering the rapidly moving credit revolution, its regulatory drivers, and the evolving technology consequences arising from it. We also examine the relative rates of adoption for new and different technological paradigms in the four key segments of the credit risk landscape listed above.
