Credit Analysis and Lending Management Dương Tấn Khoa
Chapter 1:
Credit business
Constitutes one of the most important functions
of any bank
Around 70% of bank’s assets are invested in
loans and advances.
If the lending function is not well managed, it
could threaten the existence of the bank
Due to the credit quality problems
To mitigate the credit quality problems,
adequately trained staff are required
Character:
Most important criteria
Most difficult to assess
It is about TRUST
Trust is like glass. Once it is broken, it cannot be
repaired. Even if repaired, the marks of such repair are
always present.
The concepts of character differ from countries to
countries, form cultures to cultures
Character assessment involves collecting information
about the borrower’s track record of integrity,
repayment ability, spending habits,…
Capacity:
The ability to repay the loan together with interest
follow with the predetermined schedule
Capacity refers to financial capacity to repay the loan
To assess capacity, we need to answer two main
questions:
Is the borrower financial position is sound?
Will the borrower generate sufficient income to
service the repayment of the loan?
Capital
Refers to the capital contribution that the borrower
proposes to make in the total investment
EX: Common rule is 70%-30% (the bank only lend
70% of the total investment)
The greater the capital, the greater is the
owner’s confidence in the project
the lender will feels confident about lending the
project
Lending against the strength of the security OR
lending against cash flow?
Collateral
Also known as the secondary source of repayment
When the loan cannot be paid, the lenders usually sell
the collateral and use the proceeds to set off the
outstanding loan amount
Neve forget: Taking possession of the collateral or
selling the collateral is a long and expensive legal
process
Conditon
An analysis of conditions covers external, internal
factors
External factors:
Condition of the economy
Condition of relevant industries
International events
The threat of war,…
Internal factors:
Lending policy
The lending budget
