A Nuanced Perspective on Risk in the Age of COVID-19

Know Thy Liquidity (KTL) and the Changing Definition of Default (CDD)

Key Takeaways

In a fast changing economic environment, the very definition of default is changing.  Central Bank led stimulus programs may be able to mask a troubled sector in the short term.  In addition, only when a payment is past due by 90 days, we have to determine the Exposure at Default (EAD) for a given Counterparty.  However, if Liquidity dries up, there can be dire consequences for a financial institution.
