2^nd International Conference on

CREDIT ANALYSIS and RISK MANAGEMENT

   Basel Workshop of Credit Risk

  September 5-6, 2013, Basel, Switzerland

The recent global financial crisis has exposed a weakness in credit analysis in the financial system. This conference is intended to expand the knowledge of credit analysis through discussion of both existing and new methods and models of credit analysis, credit risk management and related topics such as relationship lending.

The conference will include experts from both academia and industry talking on the subject: While a portion of the conference will be dedicated for keynote speeches, research papers on credit analysis are being invited for presentation and discussion. Research Papers and abstracts are solicited on the following topics:

• Credit analysis and credit ratings
• Credit portfolio models and limitations
• Credit derivatives and structured finance
• The future of regulation
• Risk analysis and management
• Relationship lending

Format:

• Presentations of academic papers
• Speeches from financial practitioners

The Gala Dinner (CHF 80)  and special acitivities will be charged separately.
