Risk management: Banks will focus increasingly on risk management as a key part of their strategy In the late 1990s, JPMorgan set out an aggressive plan to reduce credit risk and economic capital requirements Shifting the institutional mentality Developing portfolio level risk assessment tools Engaging the rating agencies in a dialogue on risk reduction and economic capital Actively distributing credit risk
