RISK, RISK MANAGEMENT
AND RISK GOVERNANCE
Brief Introductions
4Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
WHAT IS A RISK?
It is the possibility that a decision or action could lead to a positive or negative event in future
It implies future uncertainty
5Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
WHAT IS RISK MANAGEMENT?
It is a discipline that deals with the possibility that decisions and actions taken by the organization may cause unexpected results
It trains us to deal with uncertainties and ensure that suitable controls are implemented to mitigate likely exposures for losses
It raises the awareness that all decisions made and business activities engaged in may result in consequences that are positive, negative or both
It makes organizations ascertain and agree on the level of risk to take in achieving its goals
6Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
WHAT IS RISK GOVERNANCE?It refers to the institutions, rules conventions, processes and mechanisms by which decisions about risks are taken and implemented
It analyses and formulates risk management strategies to avoid and/or reduce the human and economic costs caused by disasters (Wikipedia)
It is implemented through defined structures
It enables institutions minimize the negative consequences of inherent risk exposures

TYPICAL RISK UNIVERSE
13Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITYApproach 1:
i. Takes a systematic view of the entire financial system and emphasizes its resilience as a key component of its stability
ii. With this approach, it is assumed that financial stability stems from a financial system that is durable, that does not experience major disruptions and offers an efficient basis for allocation of savings to investment opportunities, Mishkin (1991 and 1997)
iii. The ability of the system to act as a shock absorber when an entity within the system fails attests to how stable the system is
14Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITY (CONT’D)Approach 2:
i. Financial stability is likened to situations without banking crises and with asset price stability
ii. With this approach, rates and product offerings are relatively predictable and consistent
iii. It is however weaker than Approach 1 because the strength of its resilience is hardly tested; this approach does not provide confidence on the relative strength of the financial system
15Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITY (CONT’D)Approach 3:
i. A hybrid of Approaches 1 and 2 that was promoted by Crockett (1997)
ii. Stability requires that key institutions (too big to fail) are stable, are able to meet their obligations consistently without interruption or external support
iii. This approach requires that key markets are also stable to allow players confidently consummate transactions at prices driven by demand and supply consistently where there are no changes in the macro-economic fundamentals; Financial stability is therefore likened to situations without banking crises and with asset price stability
iv. With this approach, rates and product offerings are relatively predictable and consistent
v. It is however weaker than Approach 1 because the strength of its resilience is hardly tested; this approach does not provide confidence on the relative strength of the financial system
16Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
STABILITY → SOUNDNESSStability
• Based on state of financial system components
• Not easily measurable
• Test of resilience is usually known after the fact
• May be wishful thinking
Soundness
• Constitutes a major component of overall stability
• Is measurable
• Reflects the element(s) of resilience
• Is more robust

RECOMMENDED RISK GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Layered Governance Practices
Subsequent layers are modeled by the output of the previous layer
Previous layers are defined to demonstrate the required practice of the next
This structure should govern the activities and practices of all components in the system
This layered practice of Risk Governance in Financial Systems is commonly known as “The Governance Nexus”

COMPOSITION
Regulatory Agencies
Financial Institutions
Corporate Sector / The Public
21Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
KEY DRIVERS
Regulatory Governance
=
Financial Liberalization + Advanced Risk Management
22Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
FOCUS
Managing the rise in competitive pressures within the system
Increase in liquidity crisis and leverage
Financial soundness of institutions
Efficiency of the market infrastructure
Managing the spread of cross-market and cross-sector financial distress
23Eneni Oduwole, 6 July 2015
BASIS FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE Independence: Regulatory agencies should be insulated from improper influence from the political sphere and other supervised entities
Accountability: It is crucial that regulatory agencies are able to willfully justify their actions against the context of the mandate given to it by the Government or Legislature
Transparency: Regulatory Agencies should create an environment in which their objectives, frameworks, decisions and modus operandi are made available to the public in a comprehensive, accessible and timely manner
Integrity: Regulators as enforcers must pursue institutional goals without compromises or unethical behaviours

GOVERNANCEKey Priorities for All layers in a Financial System

RESPONSIBILITIES
Government
