2 Executive Summary Banking business lines are many and varied. Retail Banking, Middle Market Banking, Corporate Banking, International Banking, Trading and investment Banking and various financial services form the main business lines of banks. The key driver in managing all the business lines are enhancing risk adjusted expected return. This is the common factor for all business lines. But management practices vary across business lines as profitability and risk factors associated differ in various business lines. Banks have to manage all risks that are associated with all the activities undertaken across the entire organization. From the risk management point of view banking business lines may be grouped broadly under the following major heads: The Banking Book Advances, Deposits and Borrowings which usually arise from commercial and retail banking operations The Trading portfolio Assets those are marketable like fixed income securities, Equities, Foreign Exchange holdings, Commodities and Derivatives held for trading Off-Balance Sheet Exposures Contingent exposures like Guarantees, Committed or back-up credit lines, Letters of credit and Derivatives (swaps, futures, forward contracts, foreign exchange contracts, options) Banking book is mainly exposed to liquidity risk, interest rate risk, default or credit risk and operational risks. Trading Book is mainly exposed to market risk, market liquidity risk, default or credit risk and operational risks. Offbalance sheet exposures may have liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, default or credit risk and operational risks. To comply with wide ranging regulatory demands, banks and financial institutions must understand, control and report risk across the enterprise. In continuation to the financial crisis which commenced in 2007 and accelerated in 2008, the ongoing global economic turbulence is threatening to become another major global recession. The turbulence mainly triggered by the sovereign debt crisis in many European countries followed by the unprecedented downgrading of the US sovereign long term credit rating by Standard and Poor saw a major blow in world stock exchanges. The sovereign credit crisis in the Euro zone has led to virtual insolvency of Greece, Ireland and Portugal. The crisis is now threatening Spain and Italy and is unlikely to stop there. Many Government and regulatory bodies across the world look for solutions to address lessons learned in order to create a more robust risk aware financial sector. This has resulted in changes in both the structure and requirements of regulatory supervision. Basel Committee of Banking Supervisors (BCBS) is revising the Basel II framework and introduced Basel III to increase risk focus. Increased standards for Governance and risk management are expected.
