  1. Risk-BasedSMELending Day Two

  2. Session 10 • What are loan covenants? • Why do we need to impose or require loan covenants? • To control, mitigate, reduce and manage business risks • Standard covenants in the Loan Contract plus some special covenants.

  3. Loan covenants • Two kinds of covenants: (1) affirmative [or do] covenants and (2) negative [or don’t do] covenants. • Examples of both types of covenants • Common loan covenants, see SF page 26

  4. Early warning system • Banks should set an Early Warning System through systematic and close monitoring of borrowers. • Banks should identify various warning signals and take appropriate actions on timely manner • This EWS could help prevent serious problems

  5. Loan monitoring • Loan officers should monitor the accounts based on the BRR and FRR rating • Risky accounts should require closer and more frequent monitoring • The BRR rating should be repeated every 6 or 18 months

  6. Loan monitoring • A sample monitoring guide • BRR 1 to 4: annually. • BRR 5 to 6: every six months. • BRR 7: every three months. • BRR 8 to 10: ongoing (report once at least a month) • Another sample found in page 89

  7. Collateral monitoring • What is collateral monitoring? • How frequently should it be done? • Who should do it? • Why is it needed?

  8. Loan pricing • Banks may implement a risk-based pricing of its loans. • The BRR rating of a borrower will determine how much interest should be charged. • The higher is the risk, the higher is the price and vice-versa. Why? • See suggested formula on page 115

  9. FRR • The FRR rating scale • You can develop your own scale. It is very easy to create your own. • FRR is very useful especially if the bank is strongly collateral-focused

  10. Calculating LGD • LGD considers the financial implications to the bank in case the borrower actually defaults on his loan. • It measures the potential losses • The LGD can be calculated using a mathematical formula; • See SF page 114 • Why is this LGD important?

  11. Organizational structure • The organizational structure will have to be altered or modified in a bank to accommodate the new credit assessment functions • Why is this so? • Some examples of banks and financial institutions with various structures

  12. Quiz No. 2 • Let us stop for a while and see how much new knowledge we have absorbed in our minds. • Quiz No. 2

  13. Session 11 • Let us practice our rating skills by doing another rating exercise • Refer to 4th case in page 101 • Briefly introduce the case • Work in small groups within time limit

  14. Session 11 • Report back • What is the BRR rating? Will you lend to this company? • What is the FRR rating? • What risks did you identify? • What loan covenants should you require or impose? • Question–and-answer

  15. Homework • Reflect on what we learn today and write in a piece of paper 1 or 2 questions to clarify things that are unclear. • Think tonight – will your bank adopt BRR and how you will do it • Does your bank need more money? Prepare your questions about SBC and its financing programs
