Kathmandu. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has stated that there is a growing need for strong risk management mechanisms in banks and financial institutions. <\/p>\n
The central bank has issued a risk management guidance for banks and financial institutions. “In order to achieve a sustainable return on investment, it is necessary to take risks in the financial intermediation and banking industries,” the guidance said, adding that risks taken can undermine expected returns and cause losses for institutions, jeopardize the strength of individual financial institutions, and affect the stability of the entire financial system. \u2019<\/p>\n
Therefore, adopting a comprehensive risk management approach with the right risk management strategy, risk tolerance level and effective reporting to senior management can help financial institutions take calculated risk and manage it effectively, the guidance states. “Risk management is a part of internal governance. It covers all areas of financial institutions,” the guidance said. <\/p>\n
According to the Rastra Bank, there is a close relationship between good corporate governance and strong risk management. The NRB believes that without proper risk management, various functions of financial institutions will not be able to achieve its goals. “This is an important component of helping financial institutions to enhance and maintain their sustainability and strength,” the guidance said. <\/p>\n
The emergence of new risks in the financial sector poses a threat to global financial stability. The increasing impact of climate change has prompted central banks, financial regulators, and international observer bodies around the world to develop principles, guidelines, and regulations to address climate and environmental risks. <\/p>\n
The rapid adoption of digitalization, increasing reliance on data-driven technologies, and new innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) have also significantly enhanced the efficiency, accessibility, and innovation of financial systems. “At the same time, these changes have created new and changing risks related to data privacy, cybersecurity, operational robustness and payment systems, and the security and integrity of financial markets,” the NRB said. \u2019<\/p>\n
Since the global financial crisis, risk management in financial institutions has evolved from mere compliance with regulations to high-level and widespread activities. This is important at the highest level of decision-making and strategy development. However, the scope and structure of risk management functions will depend on the size and complexity of individual financial institutions. “Risk management is most effective when its basic principles and elements are consistently applied across financial institutions,” the NRB recommends, adding, “In addition, each financial institution should implement a comprehensive risk management program tailored to its needs and operating conditions.” \u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
