Focus On

Case Study

New definition of default

FOCUS ON: Case studies,
SUMMARY

In the context of the EBA’s new definition of default requirement, Avantage Reply was asked to assist the client, a European D-SIB, in conducting an impact analysis on the application of the new requirements. Avantage Reply successfully implemented a custom SAS-based solution to evaluate the gaps between the current and the new definition. Based on the gap analysis, the client has been provided with the impact estimation (default rate, cure rate, LGD, RWA). Avantage Reply also assisted the client in delivering the quantitative assessment requested by the ECB.

CHALLENGES

The main challenge was the short period of time available to realise a custom end-to-end solution. The fact that not all the data/information was available at the beginning of the project made it more complicated.

APPROACH AND SOLUTION

Avantage Reply implemented a SAS-based solution. This solution was divided into three main parts. The first part focused on the import of data, for which it was crucial to understanding the input information due to the huge amount of data (a daily snapshot for all credits was available for a time window of several years). The solution was optimised as much as possible.

The second part was dedicated to the implementation of the new default definition guidelines and defaults due to the new materiality thresholds, UTP’s (Unlikeness to Pay) and forbearance. To ensure a comparison between the new and current default definition, we also reproduced the client’s current default application.

The last part concerned the key figures and reports produced (RWA, LGD, PD, Cure rate, Default rate, ECB report, detailed reports on the differences between the current and new definitions).

RESULTS AND BENEFITS

The client received a detailed report on the differences between the current and new definition of default and an impact estimation on default rate, cure rate, LGD and RWA. Additionally, Avantage Reply assisted the client in delivering the quantitative assessment requested by the ECB.

The first, is a hand-made tool provided by the headquarter and the second is a well-known risk software solution used locally. Avantage Reply helps isolating and assessing each of the differences, and in case of materiality, set processes in order to compute overlays. Avantage Reply further helps to add and validate missing products. Validations cover parametrization of the tool, alinement of IRRBB inputs (margin and reference rate) and models (non-maturing products, prepayment, caps, floors,..)
