Risk Management in Banking System

 Banks must prioritize risk management in order to stay on top (and ahead) of the numerous key threats they encounter on a daily basis. Bank risk management extends far beyond compliance, as banks must monitor strategic, functional, price, liquidity, and reputational risk. Staying ahead of these threats necessitates a robust and adaptable bank risk management program. A standardized risk management plan adds more visibility to the equation. By standardizing risk operations, it is easier to uncover systemic risks that affect the entire bank. A bank’s ideal risk management plan acts as a road map for improving performance by highlighting critical dependencies and control efficacy.

With proper execution of a plan, banks should eventually be able to better allocate time and resources to what is most important. It is important to note that simply identifying what went wrong is insufficient; the most successful risk identification methods focus on the underlying cause. This allows the detection of systemic flaws so that controls can be established to exclude the expense and time of indistinguishable trouble.

Applications of Risk Management in Banking System

Liquidity Risk Management

During the project risk operation process, the bank liquidity risk operation planning process ensures the backing of long-term wealth by short-term liabilities, subjecting the liabilities to rollover or refinancing.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest-rate risk develops when changes in interest rates affect an institution’s Net Interest Margin or Market Value of Equity ( MVE).

IRR can be understood in two ways: as an impact on the bank’s earnings or as an outcome on the bank’s profitable asset, liability, and off-balance-sheet (OBS) positions.

Market Risk Management

During the time necessary to liquidate the deals, the risk management process of adverse diversions of the trading portfolio’s mark-to-market value due to market fluctuations is referred to as a market threat. It is the result of negative fluctuations in the volatility of interest rate instruments, equities, commodities, and currencies at market rates. It is sometimes referred to as cost risk.

Default or Credit Risk Management

Credit Risk is explicitly described as a bank borrower’s or counterparty’s ability to fail to meet its obligations under the agreed-upon terms. Loans for the largest banks are the primary and most visible source of credit risk. It is the most serious danger in the Indian environment, where the banking system’s NPA status is quite large.

Operational Risk Management

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has defined the functional threat of loss from inadequate or failing internal processes, individuals, and systems, as well as external occurrences.
