In the context of financial risk management, calculating the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) is crucial for assessing counterparty credit risk. Suppose we have a scenario where the CVA needs to be determined using the formula:
CVA = Σ(1 - RRt)(EEt)(PDt)(DFt)
In this formula:
DFt
represents the discount factor, calculated from a 3% risk-free rate.PDt
is the probability of default, with a constant hazard rate of 10% over 3 years.EEt
represents the exposure at each time point, considering collateral amounts of AUD 14 million annually.RRt
is the recovery rate.Given these parameters, how can we calculate the CVA?
