FS Counterparty Risk Solutions Survey

According to Leo Tolstoy, there are only two plots in all of literature: a person goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town.

The same can be said of the financial services sector over the last ten years and today; the story has been about a journey that involved the introduction of many new systems and pro-cesses to comply with financial regulation. Now, according to a survey of Counterparty Credit Risk professionals by Fitch Solutions, we may be on the cusp of reading a new story with a different plot – where, at least for the banking industry, the stranger that comes to town is growth and expansion.

This executive brief presents the findings from the Fitch Solutions Counterparty Risk Survey 2017 and provides an insight into the various strategies Counterparty Risk professionals are employing to improve their understanding of the risks in their credit exposures.
