Authors

Abstract

Volatility of global markets, technological advancements, innovative new financial products and changing regulatory environments have made risk management a critical task for financial institutions today as they simultaneously mitigate and create risks.It has, therefore, become increasingly important to identify, measure, monitor and manage a financial institutions’ exposure to product-market and capital-market risks. In capital-market a firm transacts with owners and lenders and is exposed to interest rate, liquidity, currency, settlement and basis risks. In the product market it transacts with clients and suppliers. This may result in credit, strategic, regulatory, operating, commodity, human resources, legal and product risks.
