Basel II Implementation and Credit Portfolio Model

With total assets of 56 billion EUR, the BAWAG P. S.K. Group is one of Austria’s largest banks and manages the country’s largest savings portfolio, totaling 18 billion EUR. In addition to numerous domestic holdings, it operates subsidiary banks in all of Austria’s eastern neighboring countries.

Results at a Glance

BAWAG P.S.K., in collaboration with zeb, implemented an integrated solution to meet Basel II requirements and manage credit risk. In addition to the regulatory capital calculation, a credit portfolio model was also introduced to determine Credit VaR.

Basel II

Implementation of the requirements under Pillar I and Pillar II.

Credit-VaR

Identification of potential losses across the entire loan portfolio.

Credit Risk Management

Support for risk-bearing capacity analysis, risk capital allocation, and the limit system.

Integrated Solution

The interplay between regulatory and economic credit risk management.

A Future-Proof Foundation
 

The foundation for modern risk management across the entire bank.

Background & Objectives 

BAWAG P.S.K. sought to implement the regulatory requirements of Basel II from both a functional and technical perspective while simultaneously establishing a solution for the economic management of credit risk. In addition to capital adequacy requirements, the focus was on calculating a credit VaR for the entire loan portfolio.

 
Objectives
  • Calculation of capital requirements
  • Support for standard and IRB approaches
  • Calculation of Credit VaR
  • Modeling of potential losses, including correlation effects
  • Development of a modern credit risk management system

The solution: Integrated Regulatory and Credit Risk Management

BAWAG P.S.K. implemented the zeb.control.regulatory Basel and zeb.control.risk Credit modules. While the Basel module calculates capital requirements, the Credit module determines the Credit VaR for the entire loan portfolio. zeb supported the business and technical implementation of both solutions.
