Prometeia has been elected for the “Credit Stress-Testing product of the year” in the Risk Technology Awards 2019, sponsored by the prestigious Risk.net magazine.
Risk.net releases an annual industry survey to recognize the leading vendor solutions for Enterprise, Operational, and Credit Risk Management. Its independent panel of judges includes technology experts, risk management practitioners and members of Risk.net editorial team.
Prometeia develops ERMAS™ – a fully integrated platform supporting Balance Sheet Risk Management, Regulatory & IFRS Compliance, Performance Management & Control, Credit Risk Analysis and Credit Decision Management.
The acknowledgement has been given to one of the key components of Prometeia’s Suite, the ERMAS Stress Testing Module, designed to support the Integrated Stress Tests required by the European Banking Authority (EBA), as well as other stress testing exercises performed by banks for managerial or regulatory purposes (e.g. for ICAAP).
The module has been recently enhanced to comply with the 2018 EBA/ECB rules, in which banks were required to simulate portfolio exposure composition in terms of different IFRS9 stages, and to estimate the evolution of impairments, provisions and RWAs under multiple scenarios. Prometeia applied a bottom-up approach to fulfill all the requirements of the Credit Risk Stress Test exercise, enabling clients to successfully run the simulation and produce the final EBA templates.
Relying on a common set of methodologies and on a powerful scenario management tool, ERMAS supports different types of stress test approaches:
Combining these approaches in a
parametric and flexible way, customers can perform not only the latest EBA Stress
Testing exercise but any other internal / managerial Stress Test analysis,
such as growth in defaulted assets, loss of value of collateral, rating
downgrade, etc.
