Notes

  1. 1.

    The LGD is 100% if there are no recoveries and 0% if there is a security (mortgage) covering the whole loss amount; depending on the recoveries, the LGD is in between 0 and 100%.

  2. 2.

    The possibilities for a less strict default definition are limited according to the Basel rules.

  3. 3.

    Some banks experienced the problem that PDs determined by the rating tools and LGDs coming from the LGD tools did not match correctly (as PD tools and LGD tools had a different classification of exposures, for example). When it comes to pricing (see Sect. 4.1.2) this is quite a problem.
