Global Risk Management 2Q05 Update: Unfirm Steps Toward Consolidation


This Financial Insights update identifies the major happenings for risk management in the second quarter of 2005. The world economy faces uncertainty in many of its sectors, but as opposed to risk threats in previous years, this time we do not observe contagious effects that lead to horizontal crises. There is more cooperation between the industry and regulators, and we expect some meaningful progress as well as modifications in regulatory initiatives throughout 2005.

“The vendors show clear effort to combine their industry and technical knowledge into consolidated integrated systems and move toward enterprise risk management,” says Vicky Polyakov, associate analyst in Financial Insights’ Risk Management and Capital Markets Group. “It remains to be seen whether the industry is ready and will install the new and rebranded solutions.”

Basel II and Risk Management Survey of Asian Banks: Has a Risk Culture Taken Root?


This Financial Insights report, based on a survey of senior executives responsible for coordinating their change management programs for risk management, unveils the extent of the groundwork that has been laid for Basel II. Besides addressing their Pillar I initiatives, respondents further shed light on their IT investments and vendor selection criteria. Using our survey findings as a guide and supplementing it with our industry knowledge and experience, we propose key prescriptions for banks keen to get their risk management implementation up to speed and suggestions for vendors intent on capturing that risk spending. Our results will provide a useful benchmarking tool, best practices information and, we hope, a call to action for banks and the vendor community serving this space.

“With banks moving beyond a mere compliance-focused view to finding opportunities to improve operational performance, we also queried respondents on how their risk initiatives are driving value as they continue to operate in today’s increasingly volatile financial markets,” commented Li-May Chew, CFA, senior research manager for Financial Insights’ Asia/Pacific Insurance Advisory Service.
