"Risk taking is an inherent function of banking", Mr. Sandeep Kar, the executive VP & RBL at Yes Bank Ltd started his lecture with this famous quote given by Allan Greenspan.

Mr. Sandeep at the outset spoke about why risk management in banking sector is vital in today's context. He explained that any business grows and makes profit mainly by taking risk and hence the business unit must strike a tradeoff between the two. When it comes to banking, the essential functions of risk management are to identify, measure and more importantly monitor the profile of the bank.

He classified the risk management into three categories - Credit Risk, Market Risk & Operational Risk and discussed various tools and techniques to manage these risks and its various components.

Firstly, speaking about the credit risk, he said it is the potential that a bank borrower fails to meet the obligations on agreed terms. There is always scope for the borrower to default from his commitments for one or the other reason. He added that the credit risk is a combined outcome of default risk and exposure risk and consists of primarily two components. First is the quantity of risk, which is nothing but the outstanding loan balance as on the date of default. Secondly the quality of risk i.e. the severity of loss .This severity is defined by the recoveries that could be made in the event of default.

The present day banking uses various instruments and tools, through which credit risk management is, managed such as exposure Ceilings, Multi-tier Credit Approving and risk Rating Model.

Then he explained about Market Risk and defined it as the possibility of loss to bank caused by the changes in the market variables. The changes include movements in equity and interest rate markets, currency exchanges rates and commodity prices.

Finally he talked about the operational risk and cited many examples of it from his experience at Yes Bank. He said it is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems. In order to mitigate this, internal control and internal audit systems are used as the primary means.

Answering to one of the questions regarding the effectiveness of banking laws and regulations, Mr. Sandeep elucidated on the significance of Basel II guidelines and clarified that one of the important issues in implementation of Basel II norms is missing historical data for identifying the risk.

In a nutshell, the lecture was profoundly informative and it portrayed the essence of risk management in the present scenario in banking sector.
