Regulatory risk implications of credit risk models
08:30 - 09:30
- Introduction to credit risk models

- Applicable models and risk-based pricing for low default portfolios
Maria Kostova has over 16 years of experience in regulatory risk with specific focus on expected credit loss methodologies and internal ratings based approach valuation techniques.
Her significant focus of expertise resides in model development, validation, risk governance, capital allocation mechanisms and financial stability frameworks across Pillar 2A and 2B types of risk- credit, market, liquidity, concentration, IRRBB and model risk management. During her career, she has been predominantly engaged in top tier banking groups in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain, allowing her to acquire a comprehensive IFRS9 and A-IRB credit risk modelling expertise in PiT/TTC PD, LGD, EAD development and excellent understanding of internal capital adequacy requirements (ICAAP/ ILAAP) alongside risk weighted asset adjustments, Liquidity Restructurings and Stress-testing techniques.
She is specialized in banking and finance with strong emphasis on statistics and microeconomics in the United States, where this substantial exposure on logistic and linear regression methodologies in statistics for retail and corporate portfolios has been developed and practiced in accordance with Basel/ BIS/ ECB/EBA regulatory frameworks and the PRA requirements in the UK.
