Analysing and Monitoring Counterparty Credit Risk
Widening spreads and elevated volatility since mid-February 2020 have substantially increased pressures across credit markets. With the global economic downturn, continuing COVID-19 concerns and impacts, and an oil price war, it is critical to identify signs of stress that may impact a borrower’s capacity to repay debt, or a customer or supplier’s capacity to meet its obligations.
In this session, Bloomberg credit specialists will show how the Bloomberg terminal can be used to analyse and monitor supply chain and financial counterparty credit risk.
Discussion topics
- Do you struggle to get timely updates of credit risk sentiment and rely solely on the rating agencies?
- Can you identify the early signs of stress that may impact a borrower’s capacity to repay debt, or a customer or supplier’s capacity to meet its obligations?
- Are you alerted automatically to a deterioration in the creditworthiness of your suppliers, customers and financial counterparties?
