Capital Adequacy
The need to adopt the best international practices given in the pretext of globalization of economies and businesses is a must as you are
aware of “Basel Committee on Banking Supervision” and the emphasis on maintaining the Capital Adequacy commensurate to exposure
or risk on balance sheet. The new “Basel Capital Accord” stipulates that “Banks must hold capital commensurate with the level of interest
rate risk they undertake”.
If I was hired as a chief risk officer (CRO) of the Pubali Bank limited. How I will with the risk in a six way. That
I will discuss about it in below:
I will apply the Classic risk management literature acknowledges four ways of dealing with risk after establishing a risk matrix: Avoid,
Reduce, Transfer and Retain or Accept. However, as it turns out, there are six ways, not just four ways to deal with risk, as the classic risk
matrix indicates. Two more are Exploit and Ignore.
The Classic Four: Avoid, Reduce, Transfer and Retain
Classic risk management as seen in Enterprise-wide Risk Management acknowledges 4 ways of dealing with risk:
1. Avoid
2. Reduce
3. Transfer
4. Retain or Accept
These four strategies can be illustrated using a risk matrix, where the impact of a certain event stemming from an exposure to a certain
risk, is plotted against the probability of that event actually happening. For generic definitions of what the terms Avoid, Reduce, Transfer
and Retain.
Five: Exploit
Strategies for linking risk and opportunity also lists a fifth strategy as a possible option: Exploit. That is, actively seeking out risk in order to
gain competitive advantage, since risk per se does not always carry a negative connotation, but can also lead to beneficial results,
depending on the outcome. Exploiting risk is also at the center of lesser and Lucia (2009) Embracing risk as a core competence.
Six:
Ignore
Tomlin (2006), in his research, found a “see-no-evil-hear-no-evil”-strategy amongst the businesses he investigated. He discovered that
many businesses willingly overlooked the risk they were exposed to, an approach he labeled Ignore, a kind of misunderstood Accept,
perhaps?
Conclusion
The four strategies (Avoid, Reduce, Transfer and Retain) arising from the risk matrix are important as hands-on and easy to understand
basic approaches towards dealing with risk. There’s more to risk than just avoiding risk. Adding Exploit adds the dimension of ‘positive’ risk,
while adding Ignore adds a notion of unwillingness to deal with risks
