Risk Management
Credit risk is the economic loss that emanates from a counterparty’s failure to fulfill its contractual obligations, or from the increased risk of default during the term of the transaction. The increased complexity of assessing credit risk has opened the door to deep learning in finance. This is evident in the growing credit default swap market where there are many uncertain elements involving determining both the likelihood of an event of credit default and estimating the cost in case a default takes place.
