INTRODUCTION:
Risk is inherent in all aspects of a commercial operation, however for Banks and
financial institutions, credit risk is an essential factor that needs to be managed.
Credit risk is the possibility that a borrower or counter party will fail to meet its
obligations in accordance with agreed terms. Credit risk, therefore, arises from the
banks dealings with or lending to corporates, individuals, and other banks or
financial institutions.
Credit risk management needs to be a robust process that enables banks to
proactively manage loan portfolios in order to minimize losses and earn an
acceptable level of return for shareholders. Central to this is a Comprehensive IT
system, which should have the ability to capture all key customer data, risk
management and transaction information including trade & ore!. "iven the fast
changing, dynamic global economy and the increasing pressure of globalization,
liberalization, consolidation and dis# intermediation, it is essential that banks have
robust credit risk management policies and procedures that are sensitive and
responsive to these changes.
$he purpose of this document is to provide directional guidelines to the banking
sector that will improve the risk management culture, establish minimum standards
for segregation of duties and responsibilities, and assist in the ongoing improvement
of the banking sector in Bangladesh.

take )B into ne!t higher level of banking on a strong financial footing and with
appropriate systems and processes in place.
Being a financial institution, your Bank is e!posed to the entire gamut of economic
developments and activities both within and outside the country. 1ence to start with,
we will throw some brief insights in to the economic scenario of the year 733?.
G'o4a' E)ono&
.orld economic growth strengthened in the year 733? as the global gross domestic
product D"/'E registered a growth of 8.B percent compared to 8.= percent in 733=.
/espite rising oil prices Dthat topped R@= a barrel during the course of the yearE, rising
short#term interest rates, and a bout of volatility of financial market, the global growth
accelerated in the overall. $his strong global performance was driven by very rapid
e!pansion in developing economies, which grew by @ percent # more than twice as
fast as high income countries D8.6 percentE. ,n the overall, 8A percent of the increase
in global output originated in developing countries which far e!ceeded these
economies 77 percent share in world "/'.
)lthough broadly based, strong performance by China D63.: percent growthE played a
significant role in the recent e!pansion of developing economies which grew by @
percent. ,t is of significance that e!cluding China and ,ndia DA.@ percent growthE,
developing countries grew by =.= percent thereby playing important roles in the global
economic performance.
ast growth of developing countries over the past five years has been fueled by low
interest rates and abundant global li-uidity. $his has led to rising commodity prices
and over#heating in some high#income and developing countries. $his, in turn, has
provoked a tightening of monetary policy that is in part is responsible for slowdown at
the global level towards the later part of the year. 1owever, in most countries strong
productivity growth, due in part to the absorption of China and the former 2astern
Block countries into the global economy, has checked inflationary pressures.
,n the 0nited *tates, the acceleration of industrial output began at a torrid pace of =.?
percent during the year. )s a result 0* "/' had a positive growth in 733?. 1owever,
responding to higher short#term interest rates, spending in the housing sector declined
and also had a moderating effect on the consumer demand. $his resulted in the
slowing down of the economy to 6.? percent annualized growth rate in the third
-uarter of 733?. 1owever, profit, foreign investment and consumption remained robust
while inflation and unemployment remained low. Conse-uent upon all these factors,
0* economy is e!pected to grow by 8.7 percent as a whole.
2uropean economy also e!perienced growth in 733? after several years of weakness.
"rowth accelerated in the first half of the year as "/' e!panded by about 8.8 percent
over that period. $his is mostly driven by private consumption and increased
investment spending. 1owever, slower growth in the third -uarter for rance had an
impact on the overall growth but the full year "/' growth in 2urope is estimated to be
7.= percent.
,n Iapan, the "/' was estimated to have e!panded by 7.B percent in 733?. )
slowdown in e!ports contributed to weaker growth in the second -uarter of the year,
but growth rebounded in the third -uarter led by a surge in investment spending.
1igh oil prices and the rapid pace of global growth have contributed to a gradual
increase in inflation among developing countries. $hese countries e!perienced rising
inflation in response to higher oil prices, but it has since declined, reflecting both solid
productivity growth and the impact of more credible monetary policies. ,n contrast, in
high#income economies inflation rose to about 7.@ percent from 6.8 percent before
falling towards the end of the year matching with the falling oil prices.
,n the overall, limited inflationary pressures and high savings among oil e!porters and
in 2urope are e!pected to keep long term interest rates low. &oreover, improved
fundamentals have boosted growth rates in many developing countries. )ll these
factors cumulatively suggest the continuation of robust economic performance in 733@
barring unanticipated reversals.
So*t$ Asian E)ono&
*outh )sian region e!perienced A.7 percent growth during the year 733?. $his marked
the fourth year of consecutive "/' growth of over @.= percent for the region. 'rivate
sector # led growth backed#up by improved macro management and greater
integration in the economy were the contributing factors. 9oose monetary and fiscal
policies and strong remittance inflows also played a role, providing a boost to
domestic demand.
,ndia the largest economy in the region, led the way with a "/' growth of A.@ percent
during the year. 2lsewhere in the region, growth was less rapid compared to ,ndia but
nevertheless robust at ?.= percent. ,n 'akistan industrial output was up by 67 percent
partly reflecting improved sale of te!tiles and clothing.
,n Bangladesh, growth rebounded owing to stronger remittance inflows and by vibrant
services and manufacturing sector output. ,n *ri 9anka growth picked up to an
estimated @ percent due to a good harvest and recovery after tsunami. +ther smaller
economies like Bhutan and &aldives also e!perienced growth while in <epal
economic activity slowed due to political conflict.
$hroughout much of the region, supply was unable to keep up with demand, resulting
in rising inflation and rapidly growing imports. /uring the year, import volumes
increased by 7: percent e!ceeding the e!port growth of 77 percent for the region. )t
the same time, despite rapidly rising ta! revenues, fiscal deficits remained elevated at
@.6 percent of "/' in the region because of increased implicit subsidization of energy
costs and ma4or public sector investment programs and reconstruction e!penditures.
,nflation in the region has risen from 8.A percent in 7338 to @.A percent in the last
-uarter of 733?. Real "/' in *outh )sia is e!pected to slow down gradually from A.7
percent to still robust @ percent. .eaker e!ternal demand, tighter domestic monetary
and fiscal policies, and tighter international markets are all factors contributing to the
e!pected slowdown. 'rospects for individual countries will be affected by weather,
political developments, rising oil prices among others.
Ban!'a+es$ E)ono&
Bangladesh economy continued on the growth path in 733? and achieved a higher
growth compared to the year 733= mainly driven by a strong post#flood agriculture
recovery. "rowth was also fuelled by notable e!pansion of the manufacturing sector.
2conomic growth was also aided by strong growth of e!ports and remittances from
abroad. $his is a noteworthy performance in the face of rising oil price, rise in import
costs and also the phase out of the &ulti #iber )rrangement D&)E. "/' growth was
registered at ?.@ percent in the year 733?.
"rowth performance of the economy was led by the post#flood recovery of the
agriculture sector which was :.= percent in 733? compared to 7.7 percent in the year
before. *trong growth in crops, horticulture and fishing were mainly responsible for
such growth. )t the same time, industrial sector attained B.? percent growth during the
year which is way above the previous yearPs growth of A.8 percent. $his higher growth
rate was sustained through strong performances in the manufacturing arena facilitated
by strong and sustained growth in e!port oriented manufacturing activities and
e!pansion of domestic demands. ,n the overall, service sector of the economy grew
by ?.= percent. $he growth was fairly spread in different sub#sectors which in turn
were related to increase in industrial out put and increase in trade related activities.
*tructural transformation of economy was aimed at through giving new focus on the
development of the *mall & &edium 2nterprises D*&2sE sector. ) credit line was
established in the Bangladesh Bank with the support of the )sian /evelopment Bank
D)/BE and the .orld Bank D.BE, respectively. ,n the year 733?, *&2 sector
e!perienced sizeable growth in the field of rice mills, dairy products, knitwear, leather

CountryPs foreign e!change reserve crossed the 0* R :.3 billion mark for the first time
in the history at the beginning of the year 733@. 'resent level of reserves covers for
over three months of imports of the country. 2!ports and remittances from the <on#
resident Bangladeshis D<RBsE continued to achieve strong growth in the year 733?
while import growth slowed down to a sustainable level. 2!ports grew 76.? percent to
0*R 63,:77 million over the previous year. )t the same time, remittances by the <RBs
grew by 7:.A percent at 0*R :,A37 million. .hile, total import was registered at 0*R
68,836 million showing a growth of 67.6 percent during the year.
2!port earnings achieved more than e!pected growth in the post &) situation due to
higher e!port demand in the 0* and the 2uropean markets. ,mpressive growth of 8=.:
percent was achieved in the knitwear sector driven by a volume growth of 8@.:
percent. CountryPs e!port of raw Iute also e!perienced significant growth of =:
percent over the year 733=. &ore significantly, country is gradually shifting towards a
diversified e!port base. Bangladesh has been included in the Lne!t elevenL a group of
nations having economic growth potential by "oldman *achs.
Relative slowdown of total import was mainly attributable to the reduced import of food
grains, milk products, spices and most other edible products. 1owever, import of
industrial raw materials and capital machineries increased signifying the dynamism in
investment activities in the country. $he commodities whose import payments,
however, increased significantly include crude petroleum and '+9 reflecting the
volatile international market for those.
$he overall balance of payments recorded a significant surplus of 0*R 8?= million
D0*R?@ million in 733=E at the end of the year 733? reflecting a notable improvement
in the current account balance and a larger surplus in the capital account. /espite
noteworthy performance of the e!ternal sector, the foreign e!change market
e!perienced substantial pressure in the year 733?. 'ressures on $aka#0* /ollar
e!change rate generated by continued price hike for import of petroleum and many
other ma4or commodities coupled with higher growth of lending to the private sector
D6A.8 percentE created all such pressure situation. ,n 733?, the nominal $aka#0*
/ollar e!change rate depreciated by A.? percent in the overall. 1owever, the real
effective e!change rate of $aka depreciated by =.8 percent providing a boost to the
countryPs e!ternal competitiveness.
,nflation in the economy showed upward trend in 733?. 'ressures on consumer prices
emerged mainly through rising import prices of fuel, food items, other consumer items
and production inputs feeding into domestic prices. /epreciation of $aka further
contributed to rising consumer prices. $he annual average inflation increased to @.7
percent in Iune, 733?.
Bangladesh Bank continued to pursue a restrained monetary policy stance with a view
to curb e!cess demand from inflationary e!pectations while supporting the sustainable
real "/' growth. /uring the year, the Cash Reserve Re-uirement DCRRE and the
*tatutory 9i-uidity Ratio D*9RE were raised from :.= and 6?.3 percent respectively to
=.3 and 6A.3 percent towards slowing down of the growth of domestic credit. Besides,
repo and reverse repo interest rates and treasury bills M bond yield rates were kept at
an uptrend towards slowing down the credit growth rate.
Broad money D&7E grew by 6B.8 percent during the year which was much higher than
733= growth of 6?.@ percent and far e!ceeded the pro4ection of 6:.8 percent growth.
'ublic sector credit grew substantially by 83.? percent mainly to finance higher cost of
imports of fuel. $otal domestic credit grew by 76.6 percent, while credit to private
sector grew by 6A.8 percent reflecting acceleration of economic activities. $he
declining trend of interest rates that persisted over a period till year 733= reversed in
733? keeping pace with the tightened monetary policy. CountryPs revenue collection
scenario through the <ational Board of Revenue D<BRE remains much lower than the
pro4ection. )mong other factors low tariff rates on many importable items, lower import
volume due to political crisis were mainly responsible for such a situation.
/espite stronger growth of some macroeconomic indicators, Bangladesh economy
faced some challenges originating from price hike of oil, some imported commodities
in the international market causing fluctuations in real sector and foreign e!change
market. )s a result, the financial market was volatile during the year. $he call money
market was also volatile for a period of time due to increase of "overnment borrowing
from the banking system for financing higher priced imports. $ill /ecember 733?,
"overnment borrowing stood at $aka ?8.=3 billion. /ue to such a development, banks
and financial institutions were forced to mobilize deposit at a higher rate resulting in
higher pricing on credit and forcing restrains, at times.
O3e(a'' Ban.in! Se)to(
inancial sector reforms to strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework for
banks made headway in 733? although at a slower than e!pected pace. +verall
health of the banking system showed improvement since 7337 as the gross <on#
performing 9oans D<'9E declined from 7A percent to 6: percent while net <'9 Dless
'rovisionE reduced to A percent from 76 percent. $his led significant improvement in
the profitability ratios. )lthough the 'rivate Commercial Banks D'CBE <'9 ratio
registered a record low of ? percent, the four <ationalized Commercial Banks D<CBE
position are still weak and showed very high <'9 at 7= percent. $he <CBs have large
capital shortfalls with a risk#weighted capital asset ratio of 4ust 3.= percent DIune 733?E
as against the re-uired B percent. or the 'CBs risk#weighted capital asset ratio stood
at 63 percent.
Bangladesh Bank issued a good number of prudential guidelines during the year 733?
and the first -uarter of 733@ which among others relate to DiE rationalization of
prudential norms for loan classification and provisioning, DiiE policy for rescheduling of
loans, DiiiE designing and enforcing an Lintegrated credit risk grading manualL, DivE
credit rating of the banks, and DvE revisions to the make#up of $ier#7 capital.
Besides, recent decision of the "overnment to corporatize the remaining three <CBs
along with the initiative to sale the Rupali Bank are bound to usher in changes in the
banking sector competitiveness aspect. Bangladesh Bank has also taken up the task
of implementing the Basel ,, capital accord. urther, the recent enactment of the
&icro#credit Regulatory )uthority )ct D&R))E for the regulation of the &icro inance
,nstitutions D&,E has been a ma4or development in the year 733?.
*ince 6BBA C)&29 rating of banks gradually improved and in 733? Bangladesh Bank
updated this rating model by incorporating the market risk and the new model is
known as C)&29*.

5= POLICY GUIDELINES
$his section details fundamental credit risk management policies that are
recommended for adoption by all banks in Bangladesh. $he guidelines contained
herein outline general principles that are designed to govern the implementation of
more detailed lending procedures and risk grading systems within individual banks.
Len+in! G*i+e'ines
)ll banks should have established Credit 'olicies D%9ending "uidelines(E that clearly
outline the senior managements view of business development priorities and the
terms and conditions that should be adhered to in order for loans to be approved.
$he 9ending "uidelines should be updated at least annually to reflect changes in the
economic out look and the evolution of the banks loan portfolio, and be distributed to
all lendingMmarketing officers. $he 9ending "uidelines should be approved by the
&anaging /irectorMC2+ & Board of /irectors of the bank based on the endorsement
of the banks 1ead of Credit Risk &anagement and the 1ead of
CorporateMCommercial Banking. DSection 2.1 of these guidelines refersE
)ny departure or deviation from the 9ending "uidelines should be e!plicitly identified
in credit applications and a 4ustification for approval provided. )pproval of loans that
do not comply with 9ending "uidelines should be restricted to the banks 1ead of
Credit or &anaging /irectorMC2+ & Board of /irectors. $he 9ending "uidelines
should provide the key foundations for account officersMrelationship managers DR&E
to formulate their recommendations for approval, and should include the following5
In+*st(& an+ B*siness Se!ent Fo)*s
$he 9ending "uidelines should clearly identify the businessMindustry sectors that
should constitute the ma4ority of the banks loan portfolio. or each sector, a clear
indication of the banks appetite for growth should be indicated Das an e!ample,
$e!tiles5 "row, Cement5 &aintain, Construction5 *hrinkE. $his will provide necessary
direction to the banks marketing staff.

T&%es o# Loan Fa)i'ities
$he type of loans that are permitted should be clearly indicated, such as .orking
Capital, $rade inance, $erm 9oan, etc.
Sin!'e Bo((o9e(CG(o*% LiitsCS&n+i)ation
/etails of the banks *ingle BorrowerM"roup limits should be included as per
Bangladesh Bank guidelines. Banks may wish to establish more conservative criteria
in this regard. )ppendi!#8.:.8 provides brief description of financing under
syndicated arrangement.
Len+in! Ca%s
Banks should establish a specific industry sector e!posure cap to avoid over
concentration in any one industry sector.
Dis)o*(a!e+ B*siness T&%es
Banks should outline industries or lending activities that are discouraged. )s a
minimum, the following should be discouraged5
&ilitary 2-uipmentM.eapons inance
1ighly 9everaged $ransactions
inance of *peculative ,nvestments
9ogging, &ineral 2!tractionM&ining, or other activity that is
2thically or 2nvironmentally *ensitive
9ending to companies listed on C,B black list or known defaulters
Counterparties in countries sub4ect to 0< sanctions
*hare 9ending
$aking an 2-uity *take in Borrowers
9ending to 1olding Companies
Bridge 9oans relying on e-uityMdebt issuance as a source of repayment.
Loan Fa)i'it& Pa(aete(s
acility parameters De.g., ma!imum size, ma!imum tenor, and covenant and security
re-uirementsE should be clearly stated. )s a minimum, the following parameters
should be adopted5
Banks should not grant facilities where the banks security position is inferior
to that of any other financial institution.
)ssets pledged as security should be properly insured.
Caluations of property taken as security should be performed prior to loans
being granted. ) recognized 8rd party professional valuation firm should be
appointed to conduct valuations.
C(oss Bo(+e( Ris.
Risk associated with cross border lending. Borrowers of a particular country may be
unable or unwilling to fulfill principle andMor interest obligations. /istinguished from
ordinary credit risk because the difficulty arises from a political event, such as
suspension of e!ternal
payments
*ynonymous with political & sovereign risk
$hird world debt crisis
or e!ample, e!port documents negotiated for countries like <igeria.
C(e+it Assessent & Ris. G(a+in!
Credit )ssessment
) thorough credit and risk assessment should be conducted prior to the granting of
loans, and at least annually thereafter for all facilities. $he results of this assessment
should be presented in a Credit )pplication that originates from the relationship
managerMaccount officer D%R&(E, and is approved by Credit Risk &anagement
DCR&E. $he R& should be the owner of the customer relationship, and must be held
responsible to ensure the accuracy of the entire credit application submitted for
approval. R&s must be familiar with the banks 9ending "uidelines and should
conduct due diligence on new borrowers, principals, and guarantors.
,t is essential that R&s know their customers and conduct due diligence on new
borrowers, principals, and guarantors to ensure such parties are in fact who they
represent themselves to be. )ll banks should have established ;now Qour Customer
D;QCE and &oney 9aundering guidelines which should be adhered to at all times.
Credit )pplications should summaries the results of the R&s risk assessment and
include, as a minimum, the following details5
# )mount and type of loanDsE proposed.
# 'urpose of loans.
# 9oan *tructure D$enor, Covenants, Repayment *chedule, ,nterestE
# *ecurity )rrangements
,n addition, the following risk areas should be addressed5
; Bo((o9e( Ana'&sis. $he ma4ority shareholders, management team and group or
affiliate companies should be assessed. )ny issues regarding lack of management
depth, complicated ownership structures or intergroup transactions should be
addressed, and risks mitigated.
; In+*st(& Ana'&sis= $he key risk factors of the borrowers industry should be
assessed. )ny issues regarding the borrowers position in the industry, overall
industry concerns or competitive forces should be addressed and the strengths and
weaknesses of the borrower relative to its competition should be identified.
; S*%%'ie(CB*&e( Ana'&sis= )ny customer or supplier concentration should be
addressed, as these could have a significant impact on the future viability of the
borrower.
; Histo(i)a' Finan)ia' Ana'&sis. )n analysis of a minimum of 8 years, mhistorical
financial statements of the borrower should be presented. .here reliance is placed
on a corporate guarantor, guarantor financial statements should also be analysed.
$he analysis should address the -uality and sustainability of earnings, cash flow and
the strength of the borrowers balance sheet. *pecifically, cash flow, leverage and
profitability must be analyzed.
; P(o-e)te+ Finan)ia' Pe(#o(an)e= .here term facilities Dtenor X 6 yearE are being
proposed, a pro4ection of the borrowers future financial performance should be
provided, indicating an analysis of the sufficiency of cash flow to service debt
repayments. 9oans should not be granted if pro4ected cash flow is insufficient to
repay debts.
; A))o*nt Con+*)t= or e!isting borrowers, the historic performance in meeting
repayment obligations Dtrade payments, che-ues, interest and principal payments,
etcE should be assessed.
; A+$e(en)e to Len+in! G*i+e'ines. Credit )pplications should clearly state
whether or not the proposed application is in compliance with the banks 9ending
"uidelines. $he Banks 1ead of Credit or &anaging /irectorMC2+ should approve
Credit )pplications that do not adhere to the banks 9ending "uidelines.
; Miti!atin! Fa)to(s. &itigating factors for risks identified in the credit assessment
should be identified. 'ossible risks include, but are not limited to5 margin
sustainability andMor volatility, high debt load
DleverageMgearingE, overstocking or debtor issuesK rapid growth, ac-uisition or
e!pansionK new business lineMproduct e!pansionK management changes or
succession issuesK customer or supplier concentrationsK and lack of transparency or
industry issues.
; Loan St(*)t*(e= $he amounts and tenors of financing proposed should be 4ustified
based on the pro4ected repayment ability and loan purpose. 2!cessive tenor or
amount relative to business needs increases the risk of fund diversion and may
adversely impact the borrowers repayment ability.
; Se)*(it&. ) current valuation of collateral should be obtained and the -uality and
priority of security being proposed should be assessed. 9oans should not be granted
based solely on security. )de-uacy and the e!tent of the insurance coverage should
be assessed.
; Nae Len+in!= Credit proposals should not be unduly influenced by an over
reliance on the sponsoring principals reputation, reported independent means, or
their perceived willingness to in4ect funds into various business enterprises in case of
need. $hese situations should be discouraged and treated with great caution.
Rather, credit proposals and the granting of loans should be based on sound
fundamentals, supported by a thorough financial and risk analysis.
Risk "rading
)ll Banks should adopt a credit risk grading system. $he system should define the
risk profile of borrowers to ensure that account management, structure and pricing
are commensurate with the risk involved. Risk grading is a key measurement of a
Banks asset -uality, and as such, it is essential that grading is a robust process. )ll
facilities should be assigned a risk grade. .here deterioration in risk is noted, the
Risk "rade assigned to a borrower and its facilities should be immediately changed.
Borrower Risk "rades should be clearly stated on Credit )pplications. $he following
Risk "rade &atri! is provided as an e!ample. $he more conservative risk grade
DhigherE should be applied if there is a difference between the personal 4udgment and
the Risk "rade *corecard results. ,t is recognized that the banks may have more or
less Risk "radesK however, monitoring standards and account management must be
appropriate given the assigned Risk "rade5

$he authority to sanctionMapprove loans must be clearly delegated to senior credit
e!ecutives by the &anaging /irectorMC2+ & Board based on the e!ecutives

$he purpose of the segregation is to improve the knowledge levels and e!pertise in
each department, to impose controls over the disbursement of authorized loan
facilities and obtain an ob4ective and independent 4udgment of credit proposals.
Inte(na' A*+it
Banks should have a segregated internal auditMcontrol department charged with
conducting audits of all departments. )udits should be carried out annually, and
should ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines, internal procedures, 9ending
"uidelines and Bangladesh Bank re-uirements.
PREFERRED ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE & RESPONSIBILITIES
$he appropriate organizational structure must be in place to support the adoption of
the policies detailed in *ection 6 of these guidelines. $he key feature is the
segregation of the
&arketingMRelationship &anagement function from )pprovalMRisk
&anagementM)dministration functions.
Credit approval should be centralized within the CR& function. Regional credit
centers may be established, however, all applications must be approved by the 1ead

9ending Risk )nalysis D9R)E
$he inancial *ector Reform 'ro4ect D*R'E has been instituted in the early nineties
in Bangladesh with a view to bringing about financial discipline through undertaking
appropriate reform measures in the financial sector of our country. $he pro4ect has
been taken by the "overnment of Bangladesh D"+BE with combined support of the
.orld Bank and 0*),/ under the structural ad4ustment program. $he banking sector
constitutes the principal segment of the financial sector and hence the main thrust of
the reform activities rests on this sector. $he reform programs also gave freedom to
the banks to select the borrowers on the basis of their own 4udgement.
)mong the several reform measures that *R' has so far recommended. 9ending
Risk )nalysis D9R)E constitutes an important set of activities that has been
prescribed for minimising and averting risk in funds business of local banks Dpublic
and privateE. ,t has been identified by the e!perts and bankers that risk DhighE
involved in providing loan to a particular borrower is the main reason for failing to
recover the banks money and the issued of risk analysis remains as one of the main
factors in determining the status of a loanMinvestment in terms of recovery.
Len+in! Ris. Ana'&sis 0LRA1: Te(s & De#initions
9ending Risk )nalysis D9R)E is simply a loan processing manual. By going through
this manual the lending bankers can assess the creditworthiness of their prospective
borrowers. $herefore, 9R) is such an instrument which is definitely and directly
related with lending information to analyze the borrowers financial, marketing,
managerial and organisational aspects sub4ectively and ob4ectively. ,t also facilitates
the analyst to know the security risk of the credit.
9ending Risk )nalysis involves assessing the likelihood of repayment of loans to the
bank as per agreement on the basis of analysis of certain risks. $o analyze these
risks bankers will need to fill#up a 6? page 9R) orm. $he form leads to scoring
various risk factors involved in lending D$able )E, first of all, has divided the various
risks into two groups namely. Business Risk and *ecurity Risk.
Business Risk5
Business Risk is concerned with whether the borrowing company would fail to
generate sufficient cash out of business to repay the loan. Business Risk, the main
component of lending risk, consists of the ,ndustry Risk and the Company Risk.
). ,ndustry Risk5 /ue to some e!ternal reasons a business may fail and the risk
which arrives from e!ternal reasons of the business is called ,ndustry Risk. ,t
has two components5
DiE *upplies Risk5 .hen the business fails due to disruption in the supply of
inputs, the conse-uent risk which would arise is known as *upply Risk.
DiiE *ales Risk 5 t is another component of ,ndustry Risk. .hen the business
fails for disruption in sales, this type of risk would generate.
B. Company Risk5 Company Risk is shown for some internal reasons of the
