Credit risk: Credit risk is the possibility of a loss resulting from a borrower's failure to repay a loan
or meet contractual obligations. Traditionally, it refers to the risk that a lender may not receive the
owed principal and interest, which results in an interruption of cash flows and increased costs for
collection. Excess cash flows may be written to provide additional cover for credit risk. When a
lender faces heightened credit risk, it can be mitigated via a higher coupon rate, which provides
for greater cash flows.
Market risk: Market risk is the possibility of an investor experiencing losses due to factors that
affect the overall performance of the financial markets in which he or she is involved. Market risk,
also called "systematic risk," cannot be eliminated through diversification, though it can be hedged
against in other ways. Sources of market risk include recessions, political turmoil, changes in
interest rates, natural disasters and terrorist attacks.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability of a firm, company, or even an individual to pay its debts
without suffering catastrophic losses. Conversely, liquidity risk stems from the lack of
marketability of an investment that can't be bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize
a loss.
Operational Risk: Operational risk summarizes the uncertainties and hazards a company faces
when it attempts to do its day-to-day business activities within a given field or industry. A type of
business risk, it can result from breakdowns in internal procedures, people and systems—as
opposed to problems incurred from external forces, such as political or economic events, or
inherent to the entire market or market segment, known as systematic risk.
Financial Markets
Financial market indicators can provide useful information on the degree of risk accumulation as
well as the degree of stress and disruption in the financial sector. Indicators of risks in the financial
markets can often be extracted from transaction data in the financial markets, whether they are
movements in prices and yields of financial products or net positions of market players.
Spreads
A spread can have several meanings in finance. However, they all refer to the difference between
two prices, rates or yields. Spread can also refer to the difference in a trading position – the gap
between a short position (that is, selling) in one futures contract or currency and a long position
(that is, buying) in another. This is officially known as a spread trade. The spread between the
yields of riskier and less risky financial products is also known as a credit spread. When times are
good, the credit spread gets narrow. However, risk accumulation in the economy might also rise.
Libor rate
LIBOR is the benchmark interest rate at which major global banks lend to one another. LIBOR is
administered by the Intercontinental Exchange, which asks major global banks how much they
would charge other banks for short-term loans. The central bank has to be careful about the Libor
rate as the banks need to trade in it.
Conclusion
This essay is about monitoring and identifying the risk associated with financial intuition. The
central bank has monitored and identifies the possible risk in the market for keeping financial
stability. In the macroeconomy, the central bank needs to monitor and identify the risk that
economic agents might be unable to repay their debts. This might be done before-hand by
identifying risks of over-indebtedness among households, firms, and the government, as well as
the over-indebtedness of domestic economic agents to external lenders. On the financial
institutions front, risks to individual banks. There are many kinds of risk associated with the
financial institution and they are very hard to find and observe. The main duty of the central bank
is to observe and monitor these risk carefully.
