  • Risicobeheer in turbulente tijden

    Risk management is the exciting core of banking. Correctly identifying and managing risks has been part of the job description for hundreds of years. Correctly pricing the residual risks to economic agents supports the optimal allocation of resources.

     

    Challenges for risk managers within banks, and the broader society, stem from the increased interconnection between risks, the allocation of new risks to bankers and the changing human behavior in our digital society. This has resulted in a substantial growth in risk management tools and risk managers in the 7 lines of defense.  In order not to lose focus, we need to keep on investing in the diversity across the 7 lines, in a strong risk & compliance culture and standard operating procedures focused on identifying and managing key risks and controls. This way, through oversight and insight, we are best equipped for current and future risks.

  • Bazel IV: het sluitstuk van de jarenlange bankhervormingen

    Basel III is an internationally agreed set of measures developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in response to the great financial crisis of 2007-09. The measures aim at strengthening the regulation, supervision and risk management of banks. In this contribution Sietse Bracke (NBB) outlines in a non-technical way the major aspects of the finalised Basel III framework – dubbed Basel IV by many. Furthermore, challenges with respect to the implementation in the EU are discussed and it is argued that a timely implementation of a non-watered-down version of the Basel framework is warranted to assure long run soundness of the financial system and robust bank lending in times of crisis.

     

    Vijftien jaar na de financiële crisis van 2008 kunnen we eindelijk een punt zetten achter de invoering van de Bazelakkoorden. Nu ja, een punt zetten… Het laatste pakket maatregelen moet nog omgezet worden in de EU-wetgeving en daar knelt het schoentje. De Nationale Bank trekt aan de alarmbel: een verwaterde versie van de Bazel IV-afspraken volstaat niet om de financiële stabiliteit te garanderen.

  • Making sure your bot colleague is less biased than you!

    The topic of ethical implications of the exploding applications of big data, machine learning and genuine AI has quickly captured the attention of industry practitioners, public observers like journalists, politicians and definitely conference organisers over the past year. It is a vast topic in its own right, deserving all the multidisciplinary attention it gets. In this short commentary, I will limit myself to reviewing some salient features of bias in the context of models used in the financial industry, and, more importantly for the practitioner, suggest some process and governance measures that boards and senior management of financial services companies can take to identify, monitor and mitigate this risk exposure.
