Q

Under the Advanced IRB (A-IRB) approach, which four credit risk parameters does a bank estimate internally?

A

PD, LGD, EAD, and Effective Maturity (M) — all four are estimated internally by the bank.

Q

In the IRB framework, what does LGD represent and who prescribes it under the Foundation IRB approach?

A

LGD stands for Loss Given Default, representing the proportion of exposure lost if a default occurs; under F-IRB it is prescribed by the supervisor.
