CREDIT RISK GRADING
At the pre-sanction stage, credit grading helps the sanctioning authority to decide
whether to lend or not to lend,
what should be the loan price,
what should be the extent of exposure,
what should be the appropriate credit facility,
what are the various facilities,
what are the various risk mitigation tools to put a cap on the risk level.
CREDIT RISK GRADING
The Credit Risk Grading matrix allows application of uniform standards to credits to
ensure a common standardized approach to assess the quality of individual obligor
credit portfolio of a unit, line of business, the branch or the Bank as a whole.
The CRG outputs would be relevant for individual credit selection, wherein either a
borrower or a particular exposure/facility is rated.
The other decisions would be related to pricing (credit-spread) and specific features of
the credit facility. These would largely constitute obligor level analysis.
Risk grading would also be relevant for surveillance and monitoring, internal MIS and
assessing the aggregate risk profile of a Bank. It is also relevant for portfolio level
analysis
