Question 1

a. Explain the two most important drivers of credit risk and how those relate to the
probability of default (PD).

The two most important drivers

Loss Given Default (LGD)

This is the amount of money the lender loses when a borrower fails to repay the loan. If
LGD is high, the credit risk is also high. For example, if a company defaults and the bank
cannot recover much of the loan, it results in a big loss. When LGD increases, the
expected loss increases, even if the chance of default (PD) stays the same.
