Semi-analytical implementation for the name concentration measurement in a credit portfolio

Basel II is the second of the Basel Accords, which are recommendations on banking regulations issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. We concentrate in credit risk, which is the most important risk a bank has to deal with. Basel II is structured in a three pillar framework. The Pillar...
