What's Changed
This quarter saw some notable enhancements for credit risk purposes. As can be expected, these have mostly impacted the loan schema and IRB attributes like LGD and PD being incorporated into other schemas as well. Several new "orig_" fields have been added to give insights into the original values for many properties such as a loan's limit_amount, notional or a collateral's value at origination.
Schema Updates
Account Schema
- Addition of
lgd_floored
, 'lgd_irb' and 'pd_irb' properties to support modelling for IRB credit risk inputs (these already existed in the Loan Schema). - Addition of
orig_credit_score
to record the original credit score (from a commercially available credit bureau) of a customer at origination. Particularly relevant for US overdrafts.
Collateral Schema
- Addition of
orig_value
to accompany the existingvalue
property to reflect the value of the collateral at origination. Together with theorig_notional
in the Loan Schema, this will give an original LTV value. - Addition of more detailed choices for collateral
type
: "commercial_property_hr", "res_property_hr". The "hr" sub-types denote high-risk residential and commercial property (see CRR Articles 124, 126).
Derivative Schema
- Addition of
lgd_floored
, 'lgd_irb' and 'pd_irb' properties to support modelling for IRB credit risk inputs (these already existed in the Loan Schema).
Entity Schema (parent schema of Customer, Issuer, Guarantor)
- Addition of
scra
to accurately record the recently introduced Basel Standardised Credit Risk Assessment for entities without external ratings.
Loan Schema
- Addition of

orig_limit_amount
andorig_notional
properties to reflect the origination values for the correspondinglimit_amount
andnotional
properties. - Addition of "object_finance_hq" enum to loan
purpose
to identify high quality object finance loans. - Addition of several construction-specific loan sub-purposes in the loan
purpose
enum tree. ("first_time_buyer_cstr", "further_advance_cstr", "house_purchase_cstr", "remortgage_construct", "remortgage_othr_cstr") - Addition of the

Security Schema
- Addition of
lgd_floored
, 'lgd_irb' and 'pd_irb' properties to support modelling for IRB credit risk inputs (these already existed in the Loan Schema).
Other Updates
- Updates to over 15 documentation pages.
- Links updated for credit ratings documentation to point to wikipedia after S&P broke links to their webpage and removed ratings definitions from the public domain (at least we can't find them anymore on their site!).
