Credit and credit risk permeates every corner of the financialworld. Previously credit tended to be acknowledged only whendealing with counterparty credit risk, high-yield debt orcredit-linked derivatives, now it affects all things, includingsuch fundamental concepts as assessing the present value of afuture cash flow. The purpose of this book is to analyze creditfrom the beginning--the point at which any borrowing entity(sovereign, corporate, etc.) decides to raise capital through itstreasury operation. To describe the debt management activity, thebook presents examples from the development banking world which notonly presents a clearer banking structure but in addition sits atthe intersection of many topical issues (multi-lateral agencies,quasi-governmental entities, Emerging Markets, shrinking pool ofAAA borrowers, etc.).
This book covers:
* Curve construction (instruments, collateralization,discounting, bootstrapping)
* Credit and fair valuing of loans (modeling, developmentinstitutions)
* Emerging markets and liquidity (liquidity, credit, capitalcontrol, development)
* Bond pricing (credit, illiquid bonds, recovery pricing)
* Treasury (funding as an asset swap structure, benchmarks forborrowing/investing)
* Risk and asset liability management (leverage, hedging, fundingrisk)
