May be this would be one of the important
case studies for many students or junior officers working in Risk Management. I
hope that this case study would give them sufficient knowledge to understand
Basel - III guidelines. Since this is a very big exercise, the answers for the
case study shall be provided over a period of time. Case Study (Capital Adequacy
Computation under Standardized Approach). Though the capital adequacy
computation methodology is same for all the countries under Basel – III, this
case study is prepared for Banks in Middle East.
ABC Bank Limited has been
operating in Middle East countries. The Bank has been using Standardized
Approach for measuring the capital adequacy. Let us discuss what are the
various asset classes and their exposures of this Bank. Let us compute the
capital adequacy for credit exposures, market risk exposures and operational
risk exposures independently and then we can consolidate all the risk weights
to arrive at the Total Risk Weighted Assets of the Bank. For simplicity, the
USD currency is used in this example. Hope this example would be useful for
many Bankers who are new to the Risk Management or for any Banker who wishes to
understand the job function of Risk Management. All the figures in this case study are in millions.
