Assessing risks and making them calculable

We control transaction-related risks of new and existing transactions and take on collateral management tasks. Our jobs include giving a second opinion on lending transactions and maintaining our rating and pricing tools. We are responsible for controlling limits from an operational perspective and monitoring the risk methodology and management outsourced to KfW. We also implement operational risk and business continuity management and create reports on risk-relevant topics.

We cover KfW IPEX-Bank's complete spectrum of industries, but have fixed sector and client-related responsibilities. We create credit ratings for clients of relevance to KfW IPEX-Bank and their markets. Our work also involves assessing address risks by conducting corporate analyses, creating sector analyses and monitoring risk as part of an ongoing process.

Our goal is to recover financing projects by implementing restructuring and reorganisation measures as well as by adjusting credit.

When dealing with remediable projects, we support the financial and other restructuring processes, including the creation and checking of milestone concepts.

Creative thinking is a must when developing action alternatives, which is why we have to master the common restructuring instruments (including restructuring reports, searching for suitable investors, setting up special-purpose vehicles to make bail-out purchases and realisation of collateral, also abroad) and assess how suitable they are in each individual case.
