Counterparty Risk in German Banking

Senior practitioners discuss changes in the OTC markets due to new regulations and the impending Basel lll capital accord. This Quantifi seminar explores how banks are transitioning their business models, generally moving away from capital intensive businesses and shifting decision making authority from the trading desks to central management groups.

Dmitry Puchavesky introduces the panel and provides overview of the speed of evolution of CVA and the impact of the financial crisis, resulting in the introduction of new regulation including Basel lll.

This diverse panel included Head of CVA Pricing and Analysis from Commerzbank, Head of Risk Management Markets from Deka Bank and a Partner from Dfine. This discussion and the following Q&A provided an interesting insight into how the issue of counterparty risk is affecting the German banking community.
