Using a framework of volatile markets Emerging Market Bank Lending and Credit Risk Control covers the theoretical and practical foundations of contemporary credit risk with implications for bank management. Drawing a direct connection between risk and its effects on credit analysis and decisions, the book discusses how credit risk should be correctly anticipated and its impact mitigated within framework of sound credit culture and process in line with the Basel Accords.

This is the only practical book that specifically guides bankers through the analysis and management of the peculiar credit risks of counterparties in emerging economies. Each chapter features a one-page overview that introduces its subject and its outcomes. Chapters include summaries, review questions, references, and endnotes.

• Emphasizes bank credit risk issues peculiar to emerging economies
• Explains how to attain asset and portfolio quality through efficient lending and credit risk management in high risk-prone emerging economies
• Presents a simple structure, devoid of complex models, for creating, assessing and managing credit and portfolio risks in emerging economies
• Provides credit risk impact mitigation strategies in line with the Basel Accords

Emerging Markets and the Global Economy investigates analytical techniques suited to emerging market economies, which are typically prone to policy shocks. Despite the large body of emerging market finance literature, their underlying dynamics and interactions with other economies remain challenging and mysterious because standard financial models measure them imprecisely.

Describing the linkages between emerging and developed markets, this collection systematically explores several crucial issues in asset valuation and risk management. Contributors present new theoretical constructions and empirical methods for handling cross-country volatility and sudden regime shifts. Usually attractive for investors because of the superior growth they can deliver, emerging markets can have a low correlation with developed markets. This collection advances your knowledge about their inherent characteristics.

Foreword by Ali M. Kutan

• Concentrates on post-crisis roles of emerging markets in the global economy
• Reports on key theoretical and technical developments in emerging financial markets
• Forecasts future developments in linkages among developed and emerging economies
