Banking strategy, credit appraisal, and lending decisions: a risk-return framework

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of lending strategies, credit appraisal, risk analysis, and lending decisions within a risk-return framework. The revised edition also discusses topical issues such as the impact of capital regulation on the risk attitude and profitability of banks, strategies to protect banks from a liquidity crisis, and the need of a portfolio approach in developing models for credit exposure and loan management. Banks and financial institutions are faced with two apparently conflicting phenomena-interest ratederegulation on the one hand and capital adequacy requirements and prudentialnorms on the other. In such a situation, these institutions need to work out a strategic framework which must evolve around the profit objective so as to build up quality loan-assets portfolios and to ensure adequate capital growth.

It includes three newchapters in which the author discusses topical issues such as the impact of capital regulation on the risk attitude and profitability of banks, strategies to protect banks from a liquidity crisis, and the need of a portfolio approachin developing models for credit exposure and loan management within a risk-return framework.Providing a logical framework along with examples of practical applications and case studies, this book imparts students and professionals with required skills necessary to develop the expertise needed to manage finance and credit inbanking and elsewhere in the financial sector.
