An understanding of international risk, from that of bank or country failure to the idiosyncrasies of different religious, cultural and regulatory frameworks, is essential to the modern banker. This book gives the reader a thorough understanding of how to calculate, analyse and manage such risks. "Understanding International Bank Risk" addresses the key areas of international risk within the banking environment. It shows the reader how to assess and model both bank and country risk in clear practical terms in order to make informed decisions and be aware of the early warning signs. It spans the full range of factors from the micro to the macro environment and pays particular attention to major growth areas such as syndicated lending. "The logical and comprehensive analytical framework makes this a useful guide for credit analysis, particularly in relation to the fundamentals of a bank. Moreover, the frequent tie-ins between theory and empirical information lead to an interesting and easily digestible reading experience." "Risk is the word on the lips of every financial practitioner. Andrew Fight's new book is both a timely introduction to the subject and an excellent survey of risk and risk management in their many manifestations." "A challenging and timely review of how to appraise banks, that recognises the wider social context as well as technical analysis. This book will be an important reference point over the next few years as the turbulence of Basel II change increases." |
