Again, we see differences in responses across firms based on their “quantitative” or “non-quantitative” credit modeling approaches. For non-quantitative companies, planned improvements include expanding stochastic modeling activities and allowing default rates to vary over time. However, most non-quantitative companies have no specific planned improvements or did not provide a response. With respect to quantitative companies, two are actively implementing credit-risk vendor packages, while one company is developing an in-house structural model. Other planned improvements include simulation of derivative counterparty risk, additional stress testing and scenario analysis, decomposition of credit spreads, updating of probability of default and loss given default as well as their correlation, and creation of loss distributions using economic scenarios. Two companies had no response to this question.
