The Bank Credit Analysis Handbook (Hardcover)

Hardcover. The Bank Credit Analysis Handbook Praise for The Bank Credit Analysis Handbook In this second edition, Philippe Delhaise and Jonathan Golin build on their professional experience with Thomson Bank Watch Asia to produce a clear introduction to bank credit risk analysis. As very few books on this topic exist, it is a most welcome publication. The short and transparent chapters are rich on institutional information, building on intuition. It is quite an achievement to analyze bank solvency with no reference to heavy mathematics and statistics. The book covers topics of recent interest such as liquidity risk, sovereign and banking crises, and bank restructuring. Jean Dermine Professor of Banking and Finance, Chair, INSEAD Messrs. Delhaise and Golin have written what must be considered the seminal book on bank credit analysis. Its breadth and scope is reflective of the decades of experience they have in deciphering the core elements of bank credit risk. I found the chapter on country and sovereign risk particularly useful. This book should be considered essential reading for anyone in the field of credit risk analysis. Daniel Wagner CEO of Country Risk Solutions and author of Managing Country Risk This book is an excellent reference for anyone involved in bank risk management. It combines practical tools with case studies. Based on their substantial experience, Golin and Delhaise nicely bridge the gap between theory and practice. Andre Farber Professor of Finance, Universite Libre de Bruxelles Jonathan Golin has done it again. Both he and Philippe Delhaise have taken a very complicated and timely topic and have distilled the subject matter into an easy read that is useful to those directly or indirectly involved with bank credit analysis. Craig Lindsay Chairman, Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute Messrs. Delhaise and Golin have updated their first edition of this handbook with such a high degree of relevance and insight, on the heels of the 20072008 banking crisis, that this reference guide will surely be essential reading for every market participant involved with bank risk analysis. There are few people as qualified to write on this subject as these gentlemen; their experience speaks volumes. Once again, they are to be commended for distilling a complex subject into a practical and useful handbook. Andrew Miller Management Consultant, Financial Services, Hong Kong Fully updated and revised The Bank Credit Analysis Handbook, Second Edition explains the role and methodologies of bank credit analysts, giving both investors and practitioners an insider's perspective on how rating agencies assign all-important credit ratings to banks.
