1. We mourn live lost in Japan, for our members and their neighbours there.


We mourn for the many thousands in Japan who have lost their lives in the terrible disaster which followed the most powerful earthquake in its recorded history, with ensuing tsunamis, aftershocks and now the nuclear issues.

We mourn for our members and their neighbours in Japan.

Please donate to Japan Earthquake And Tsunami Relief Fund via the following link: http://www.globalgiving.org

 

The Global Risk Report 2011 issued by World Economic Forum just a few months ago and which we discussed in our previous highlights seems not to be relevant at all as we are faced with risks which were not highly enough graded in the report.

Just have a look at Japan, and at the broader Middle East region from Tunis to Iran. The only thing we can say is that humans are not able to predict the major risks especially if they stem from a natural or a political background.

Many experts believe that global equities may be due for a correction. The crisis in Japan, compounding geopolitical risks in the Middle East, could affect equity values for an indeterminate amount of time.

Japan’s high debt level has been manageable because of almost zero interest rates, and the fact that it is funded domestically. The country isn’t much dependent on foreign reserves. But if the debt level goes much higher, that balance could be compromised.

By the way if you've got a frog for a picture, hurry up and replace it!

 

2. The issue highlights: Questions, latest discussions, blogs and videos.


 Please have a look at the discussions and blogs. We have some really exceptional material here.

Martin DaviesA year of catastrophes and Extreme Value Theory

This year has been particularly negative with respects to natural disasters and the humongous related impacts that obtrudes the lives and livelihoods of the communities affected. Considering we are only a couple of months into the year, the number of catastrophes that have struck various countries around the world is quite astonishing.

Benjamin MiraPerformance Standards for controls

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have information (general or otherwise) regarding performance standards for controls. I´m trying to come up with some good examples to present at risk workshops. By showing a few I hope to get the message across that control identification alone is not enough.

Thanks!

RiskviewsSeven Deadly Sins of Risk Measurement

Measuring risk means walking a thin line.  Balancing what is highly unlikely from what it totally impossible.  Financial institutions need to be prepared for the highly unlikely but must avoid getting sucked into wasting time worrying about the totally impossible.

Here are some sins that are sometimes committed by risk measurers:

1.  Downplaying uncertainty - Uncertainty increases when loss size increases.  Do your users know that?

2.  Comparing incomparables  -  Do you…

3. There are still 2 weeks to claim Your Company page on our platform Free of charge.

 

Many companies have already built their company Page on our platform . If your company is not in our multimedia business directory yet, you can still use our action which is valid till April, 1st 2011. We give companies and businesses an option to create the Company Page on our site and maintain it for the entire year FREE of charge (valued at €1000). 

 

What are the benefits of the Company Page?

You will get full control of the page and can include:

cutting edge multimedia – videos, audios, presentations, adverts, white papers, job offers, press releases, product information, company blog, feeds and more.

To claim your Company Page, you have to sign out from your personal page and then sign up with a new account, name it as your Company and leave a contact person name in one of the profile fields.

A question related to classification of instruments between trading and banking book.

We have an interesting question from one of our members.       "We usually perform OTC FX transactions with clients backed-to-back on the market (with Banks). Now we are going to perform a FX swap (i.e. Spot + forward) JPY/EUR for the Bank account for 1 week at the longest. The purpose is to get EUR place @ CB for LCR compliance purpose (no trading purposes). Bank's Management think that this should be considered as a trading position and therefore be classified within the Bank's trading book.…

Plunging oil prices: curse or blessing in disguise?

The recent sudden crash of oil prices has had a major impact on the world economy, leading to many troubled faces in the international arena. The Russians fear the effects of yet another powerful hit on their economy, Venezuela seems to be considering default and the Americans are weary of the consequences for its young and emerging shale oil industry. And then you have the Middle East, where the smallest match is enough to ignite the largest fire. But are these worries really justified or…
