Banking Sector Risk Tool Brochure

Systemic banking crises can strike any type of economy and have often reflected a complex mixture of macroeconomic and financial drivers. Imbalances may build over time and when a downturn arrives a crisis may be unleashed via previously hidden weaknesses on banks’ balance sheets. Our Banking Sector Risk Tool adopts a systematic and back-tested approach to predicting systemic banking crises. Covering 166 economies and based on 33 indicators, our Banking Sector Risk Tool provides you with a comprehensive dataset and a rigorous framework to identify, analyse and compare emerging risks, helping you and your business to weather the next storm. The tool is also fully customisable, with clients being able to change weights to fit their own views on key risks.
