Credit Risk Transfer and Systemic Risk

  • Francesco Moliterni

摘要

This chapter investigates the relationship between the banking and insurance industry by focusing on systemic risk. The concept of credit risk transfer stems from banks’ inclination to offload credit risks. Insurance companies, particularly those specializing in risk transfer services, emerge as natural recipients for these risks. Notably, credit insurance firms are equipped with specialized expertise in risk assessment and selection. Banks seek to mitigate their exposure to credit risks by transferring them to insurance companies. This transfer occurs because insurance companies, particularly those offering risk transfer services, possess the necessary expertise to assess and manage these risks effectively.
