Explanation:
Stressed scenario:
Expected loss = PD × LGD × EAD
LGD = (1 − Recovery rate) = (1 − 40%)
Expected loss = 20% × (1 − 40%) × USD 320,000,000 = USD 38,400,000

Q.88 A risk manager wants to stress a bank’s USD 320 million real-estate loan portfolio. Although at the moment the average probability of default (PD) for the portfolio is pretty high (11.5%), the bank’s management doesn’t worry about the improvement of the credit quality of the portfolio as the collateral for the loans is a very expensive commercial property that always had high demand. Based on the experience of 2008, the risk manager assumes a sequence of similar negative economic events that would not only increase the PD to 20% of the portfolio but also drastically decrease recovery rates on the loans to 40%. What is the real-estate portfolio’s expected loss in the stressed scenarios?
A
USD 10,800,000
B
USD 14,720,000.
C
USD 25,600,000.
D
USD 38,400,000.
