Credit Risk
Credit risk was the potential earnings volatility caused by 
an obligor's inability or unwillingness to fulfill its payment obligations.

Exposure to credit risks arose primarily from lending activities. It also rose 
to a lesser extent, from sales and trading activities, derivatives activities 
and from participation in payment transactions and securities settlements. 
 
Credit exposure included current as well as potential credit exposure. Current 
credit exposure was represented by the notional value or principal amount of 
on-balance sheet financial instruments and off-balance sheet direct credit

The credit risk management process involved senior management, Group Risk, 
Credit Management, Relationship Management, as well as independent credit risk 
control functions.

guidance to various credit management units in the formulation of supplementary 
credit policies specific to their businesses. 
 
Each corporate borrower was assigned a rating under the Counterparty Risk Rating 
process.   | 		
	 
 
The process was further enhanced by the Facility Risk Rating System, which took 
into consideration facility specific considerations such as credit structuring, 
collateral, third party guarantees, and transfer risks.  
 
These credit risk rating tools were used to assess the credit quality of the 
portfolio, so that deteriorating exposures were quickly identified and 
appropriate remedial action was taken...
