Export finance also presents a very low risk for banks, with low expected losses deriving from a combination of low
loss given defaults (LGDs) and probability of defaults (PD).
Creating a centralized risk profile offers immediate insights into the assumptions behind
loss given default models, which rating scales are used, how overrides and pricing decisions are made, and month-over-month trends for key variables.
The expected default loss rate on a particular credit portfolio is then calculated as the default probability multiplied by a constant
loss given default.
This requires the senior unsecured creditor class to absorb a higher loss under Moody's

However, the recently announced FDIC premium proposal, particularly for smaller banks for which fraud is the major cause of failure, focuses almost entirely on the bank's probability of default and not on the
loss given default, which is more relevant for gauging the impact of the failure on the loss assumed by the FDIC.
The two main risk factors that are considered in the calculation of capital are the probability of default (PD) and the
