As a first step, credit risk management focuses on how to calculate the spread between credit risk and the obligor’s equity. It involves identifying the credit risk spread for a portfolio of loans. This spread is the difference between the riskier and safer assets. This spread is calculated using the mean and standard deviation of portfolio losses. It can be calculated using various risk models. Credit risk models are important for banks and regulators to understand the factors affecting bank credit quality.
