The first three months of 2011 have flown by, and (thanks in no small part to you) GlobalRisk Community is growing faster than ever. Thanks to everyone for wonderful content and comments published on the site.

1. Warnings from major international organizations.
The World Bank has warned that rising food prices, driven partly by rising fuel costs, are pushing millions of people into extreme poverty.

World food prices are 36% above levels of a year ago, driven by problems in the Middle East and North Africa, and remain volatile, the bank said.

IMF calls on European banks to boost their finance. The IMF said that US banks built up capital in 2009, after regulators completed stress tests that revealed some large holes. But European banks still need to raise a "significant amount of capital" to regain access to funding markets.

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

If risk management is about decision making, are current risk management solutions irrelevant?

Now that the updated COSO and ISO risk management standards emphasize a connection to enterprise objectives and decision making, does this mean ERM and GRC solutions focused on risk registers and regulatory compliance are missing the true value of risk management?Will current risk management solutions evolve to integrate more decision support functionality or will standalone prescriptive analytics and other technology solutions take a more prominent role in enabling risk-informed…

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