The primary objective of the study was to develop a model which allowed banks to
measure home loan risk and determine prices accordingly.
A survey among banks revealed:
1. belief that the home loan market is more risky than 5 years ago
2. belief that lending in the "black" market is riskier than lending in the
"white" market
3. no model is used which allows risk-measurement for the purpose of home
loan pricing
4. mixed feeling as to the value of the proposed model - value, to a large
extent, would depend on flexibility.
A practical, flexible model has been developed which allows:
1. risk classification of loans in terms of geographical areas, product/client
characteristics, and loan performance
2. risk measurement in terms of potential losses relating to each loan
category
3. determination of appropriate pricing levels for each risk category. / Department of Economics / M. Com. (Accounting )
