Counterparty risk – Introduction Definition of the counterparty risk
Counterparty risk The counterparty risk is defined as the risk the counterparty to a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction’s cash flows. An economic loss would occur if the transactions or portfolio of transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value at the time of default. [BCBS, 2006]

Properties of the counterparty risk
Counterparty risk – A bilateral risk Unlike a firm’s exposure to credit risk through loan, where the exposure to credit risk is unilateral and only the lending bank faces the risk of loss, the counterparty credit risk creates a bilateral risk of loss: the market value of the transaction can be positive or negative to either counterparty of the transaction. [BCBS, 2006] Counterparty risk – A systemic risk I I
Derivatives create credit risk between the counterparties ; Derivatives increase the connectedness of the financial system.

Counterparty risk – Introduction Counterparty risk – A comparative analysis with the lending business
Difference between the lending business and the derivatives business: I Loans: exposure at any future date is the outstanding balance, which is certain (without considering prepayments); I Derivatives: exposure at any future date is determined by the market value and the date is uncertain.
Counterparty risk can be: I Unilateral: one party (the investor) is considered default-free and only the exposure to the counterparty matters; I Bilateral: both parties are considered risky and face exposures depending on the value of the positions they hold against each other.

Introduction
Counterparty risk metrics The two purposes of counterparty risk metrics
Measuring counterparty risk can fulfill two purposes: I counterparty risk management: for internal purpose and for regulatory capital requirements, following Basel II; I counterparty risk from a pricing point of view: Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) is computed during the pricing to account for possible default of the counterparty.

Counterparty risk metrics Basic concepts
Let us denote V (t) the market value of a derivative or of several derivatives if a netting agreement is in place, at time t. Counterparty exposure is equal to E (t) = V (t)+ = max(0, V (t)). It is also known a Potential Future Exposure (PFE). Peak Exposure (PE) at level α PEα (t) = inf{X (t) |P [E (t) ≥ X (t)] ≤ 1 − α}
h 0 is the threshold below which, no collateral is posted. Margin period (δ) The marginal period is the interval at which margin is monitored and called for: C (t) = [E (t − δ) − H]
Minimum Transfer Amount - MTA The Minimum Transfer Amount is the amount below which no margin transfer is made: C (t) = [E (t − δ) − H] + 1{E (t−δ)−H>MTA}
Downgrade triggers Downgrade triggers are triggers used to ensure more collateral to be posted, if the counterparty is downgraded below a certain level. Fran¸cois CRENIN Credit Risk - Lecture 6
