Credit risk arises from the potential that a borrower or counterparty fails to meet its financial obligations. This can be related to a deterioration of the financial or liquidity position of the counterparty ultimately leading to default. The sources and propagation of credit risk can be both specific and systemic. Insurers and banks are significantly exposed to this risk via their fixed income investments, loans and other recoverables requiring a proper understanding of the drivers and a tailored risk management.
