I paicula he pimay coce was o collec ifomaio o he lage debos of he fiacial sysem ad o udesad how hose debos povoked isks fo he fiacial sysem ad fo idividual baks. Fo his easo he cedi bueau bega life as a daabase icludig oly ifomaio o lage debos. Ove ime howeve he powe of his ool fo ohe obecives was ealized. Fis he impoace of shaig ifomaio bewee fiacial isiuios was ealized ad a a ealy sage he daabase was give o viually all he fiacial isiuios a low cos.

I aohe sudy i his publicaio Mille e al (999) use he daa o sudy he elaios bewee ledes ad boowes (especially small ad medium sized eepises). Howeve a fuhe eciig use of his daabase is o aalyze appopiae capial ad povisioig saegies fo baks ad i paicula o assess whehe cue capial ad povisioig egulaios mach up o acual isks. his is he he focus of his pape. I paicula we develop simple echiques o esimae he epeced loss ad he vaiace of poeial losses of a pofolio of geie loas. We advocae ha povisios should cove epeced losses ad ha capial equiemes should cove poeial losses ove ad above epeced losses subec o some saisical level of oleace. We he assess how acual capial ad povisioig equiemes mach up o esimaed equiemes give by ou heoeical model ad calibaed usig a paicula sample of ece daa. he pape is ogaized as follows. I secio we give a vey bief accou of he hisoy of he cedi bueau. I secio 3 we descibe a poeial diffeeiaio bewee povisioig ad capial equiemes wih efeece o he pobabiliy disibuio of loss of a pofolio of loas. I secios 4 ad 5 we descibe biefly he ece debae egadig he defiiio of povisioig ad capial equiemes ad sugges ha capial equiemes may eed o eflec pofolio cosideaios. I secio 6 we pese he mehodology ad esimaes fo implied povisioig equiemes give a simple model o See he websie of he Ceal ak;

I secio 7 we pese a simple pofolio model o evaluae cedi isk ove ad above epeced losses ad i secio 8 pese esuls compaig implied o acual capial equiemes. Secio 9 cocludes.. he Hisoy of he Ceal de Deudoes del Sisema Fiacieo Daabase Ou souce of daa fo sudyig cedi isk is he Ceal de Deudoes del Sisema Fiacieo (CDSF) daa se which cuely caies ifomaio o viually evey loa i he geie fiacial sysem. he CDSF oigiaed i Jauay 99 whe he Ceal ak of geia bega o collec ad disclose ifomaio abou he lages debos (wih debs ove $00000) of he fiacial sysem. Fiacial isiuios povided he ifomaio ad afe validaio i was he e-disibued o all coibuos. he ifomaio o debos oigially icluded oly he "classificaio" assiged o each debo by each fiacial fim. Lae he Ceal ak equied baks o epo moe deailed ifomaio icludig he picipal aciviy of he debo is liks if ay o he ledig isiuio he busiess goup o which i beloged debs by cuecy deomiaio collaeal povisios ad e woh. I Sepembe 994 he CR decided o make he ifomaio available o he public by chagig a modes fee hough a agecy amed he Risk Cee (Diaz 998 Roisezvi 999). I 995 he CR decided o eed he age of debos hough he ceaio of he Cedi Ifomaio Cee (CIC). his ew egise icluded ifomaio o debos fom he o-fiacial seco wih debs geae ha $50 hus coveig pacically he eie age of boowes. he CIC bega o opeae i Jauay 996 ogehe wih he Risk Cee. Fo each debo he CIC povided he followig ifomaio o he public: picipal aciviy oal deb collaeal ad he fiacial isiuio s classificaio of he debo. I Ocobe 996 he CR decided o disclose he ifomaio coaied i he CIC fo a aual fee. y Mach 997 he amou of ifomaio pocessed pe moh by he Risk Cee was appoimaely ecods coespodig o 5000 debos while he CIC pocessed aoud ecods pe moh. I July 997 boh isk cees wee uified i he "Ceal de Deudoes del Sisema Fiacieo" CDSF. his Ceal ak agecy ow allows access o he public via he Iee. his hisoy is summaized i able. I geia a basic sysem of 5 caegoies ("classificaios") is used o classify loas whee is "omal" ad 5 coespods o "loss" - see fuhe commes below.

Fo eample he daabase does o coai ifomaio o idividual debs ad isead goups all of he debs of each idividual a a fiacial isiuio ogehe. May cedi isk models developed ecely such as JP Moga s CediMeics M (see Gupo e al 997) equie ifomaio o he iees ae ad sucue of paymes of debs. 3 he CDSF does o povide ifomaio abou he sucue of debs ad oly ecely begu o povide ifomaio o loa duaio ad he iees ae of debs. Moeove uil ecely i was difficul o ack idividual debos ove ime. Recely he Ceal ak has begu a poec o soe hisoical daa i a moe accessible fom ad also o impove he ifomaio o he iees ae ad duaio of debs. hese impovemes will be ivaluable fo his ype of eseach goig fowad. Fo his pape we decided fo hese pacical cosideaios o use daa fom Jauay 998 givig us some 5 mohs of ifomaio. 3.

Howeve i heoy we believe ha povisios ad capial seve wo quie disic puposes. I ou view povisios should poec baks agais odiay levels of cedi loss while capial equiemes should poec baks agais ufoesee losses. I saisical ems while povisios should eflec he epeced value of cedi losses capial equiemes should poec agais uepeced losses subec o some level of saisical oleace. his meas ha i heoy boh povisioig ad capial equiemes may be specified fom he same disibuio (he disibuio of poeial cedi losses) bu hey eflec diffee saisics of ha disibuio. Gaph illusaes he implied level of povisios ad capial equiemes by meas of a eample. he gaph plos a disibuio of poeial cedi losses (fo a sigle loa o a loa pofolio). Maked o he gaph is he epeced loss $500 i he eample ad his is he he appopiae level of povisios. Capial equiemes o he ohe had should eflec uepeced losses which ae usually defied as he diffeece bewee a give peceile level ad he epeced loss. I ou eample we calculae appopiae capial equiemes as equal o he diffeece bewee he 99.9 h peceile of cedi losses ad he epeced value. he 99.9 h peceile defies a lie which places us 0.% of he disibuio o he igh ad i ou eample is a $8000. hus appopiae capial equiemes i ou eample ae $8000-$500 $5500.

I paicula we use he cedi bueau daa o assess whehe he level of povisios fo each classificaio is adequae give obseved loss pobabiliies. I evaluaig he cue levels of povisios we fis develop a fiacial model of loa value which akes io accou epeced cedi losses. We he esimae his model wih he available cedi bueau daa i ode o esimae he level of povisios eeded o cove hose epeced losses. 5

While i he pas he level of equiemes efleced 'ules of humb' o aguably wee he oucome of comple poliical egoiaios moe ecely hee have bee geae aemps o quaify appopiae levels of egulaoy capial. he mehodology omally applied is o coside wha sock of capial would cove poeial losses i all bu a small peceage of sceaios ha could pevail i he eleva hoizo. he eleva hoizo is omally see o be he ime eeded o ake isk-miigaig acios such as he sale of isky loas o he epleishme of capial. he asle 988 Capial ccod fomally esablishes he cue fom of capial equiemes fo "ieaioally acive" baks i G-0 couies. Howeve ove 00 couies icludig geia have eplicily adoped he ccod eihe i hei ow bakig egulaios o i some cases i Law. I may couies howeve he ules ae applied o oly o ieaioally acive baks bu also o domesic baks. Moeove i some couies while he geeal asle mehodology has bee adoped he acual equiemes adoped have bee sice ha he miimum 8% of asses a isk ecommeded by he asle docume. Couies have he adoped hei ow limis wihi he geeal mehodology depedig o he peceived level of cedi isk. I geia he Ceal ak ses capial equiemes fo he bakig sysem ad has esablished (sice he ed of 994) a miimum aio of.5% fo capial o isk-weighed asses fo couepay isk. he asle ccod defied isk-weighs fo diffee asses i a aemp o capue he diffee levels of isk i hei eus. I geia hese weighs ae used bu ae complemeed wih a isk idicao ha is based o he iees ae chaged o each loa. his addiioal isk idicao is a faco ha muliplies he base capial equieme. Ude his sysem loas wih highe iees aes have highe capial equiemes because hey ae pesumed o have a highe level of isk. geie capial equiemes also iclude a faco ha depeds o he CMLS aig assiged by he Supeiedecy o each fiacial isiuio. O op of couepay isk capial equiemes he Ceal ak has also imposed capial equiemes fo make isk ad fo iees ae isk. he cue geie capial equiemes may he be specified accodig o he followig fomula: Oveall Capial Requieme.5*IR*W*K Make Risk Iees Rae Risk Whee IR is he iees ae faco W is he aveage asle isk weigh fo asses ad K is he CMLS faco assiged by he Supeiedecy. Oe shocomig of asle-syle capial equiemes is ha hey do o ake io accou how idividual eposues ae combied i he loa pofolio. Oe lage loa o a sigle compay fo $00m has he same capial equieme as 000 loas of $00000 each o 000 diffee compaies if hese loas ae i he same isk caegoy. Howeve maiaiig a divesified pofolio will i geeal educe he oal cedi isk of a 6

Moeove equiemes do o diffe accodig o he level of coelaio of asse eus i a pofolio. pofolio of loas eclusively o compaies i he eile seco would have he same capial equieme as a pofolio of loas spead acoss vaious idusies agai assumig hey wee all i he same isk caegoy. Naually if he sadad ules do o eflec well he acual isks of fiacial isiuios cedi pofolios he his may esul i eihe oo lile o oo much capial ad diso capial allocaio decisios. ece poposal o emedy his is he use of ieal models o assess capial adequacy. Ude his sysem fiacial isiuios would apply o use hei ow measues of cedi isk o deemie he capial equieme. Regulaoy auhoiies would eed o decide which models deseve auhoizaio based o hei echical mei ad hisoical pefomace. Howeve ece aalyses of such models sill place his possibiliy a a ealy sage of developme. Ideed he ece poposal o modify he asle 988 ccod while icludig may ideas o impove cedi isk assessme of idividual debos shies away fom mehods o aalyze pofolio isk icludig ieal models. I is heefoe impoa i usig a cedi isk model o evaluae povisio ad capial equiemes o ecogize he cue limiaios of his appoach. he asle Commiee ad ohe isiuios sudyig cedi isk models all cocluded ha hey wee o ye sufficiely well developed o use i a capial equieme sysem. ccodig o he asle Commiee o akig Supevisio (999a 999b) ad may scholas (see Jackso Nickell ad Peaudi 999) impoa issues such as he coec shape of he loss disibuio have o bee esolved ad he sho spa of hisoical daa makes i impossible o popely validae cedi isk models. Fuhemoe ohe isk facos such as opeaioal isk have o bee adequaely sudied. he basic aio esablished i he Capial ccod migh also povide a eeded hedge agais opeaioal ad ohe isks. he poblems egadig he implemeaio of ieal models fo cedi isk egulaoy capial is mioed i a emegig couy coe. Moeove i is likely ha some of he poblems ae magified. Fo eample model assumpios boh i ems of sucue ad paamees ae likely o be moe usable ad echical ad huma esouces ae likely o be moe cosaied.

Calculaig Povisios as a Fucio of Loa Classificaio I ode o measue he ecoomic cos of cedi deeioaio we assume ha he value of a loa depeds o is classificaio. he povisios should eflec he diffeece bewee is balace shee value ad is ecoomic value so ha he loa s e balace is equal o is ecoomic value. his diffeece should eflec amog ohe higs he epeced loss due o cedi isk. he classificaio (o sae ) is a umbe bewee ad N.
