Basel Committee: The management of banks' off balance sheet exposures — a supervisory perspective
CA-B.2.1
In March 1986, the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision issued a paper titled "The management of banks' off-balance-sheet exposures — a supervisory perspective" (see www.bis.org/publ/bcbsc134.pdf).CA-B.2.2
This paper examines off balance sheet risks from three angles — market/position risk, credit risk and operational/control risk. Part III of this paper examines credit risk (including control of large exposures, settlement risk and country risk), with particular emphasis given to the assessment of the relative risks of the different types of off balance sheet activity.
