The article discusses a set of key indicators that enable continuous monitoring of credit risks and provide early warning about the level of risk (low, medium, and high). Credit risks, when exceeding a threshold value established under a specific scenario, may cause serious damage to the bank’s reputation or result in financial losses that hinder the timely implementation of the bank’s strategy. The limit values of the key risk indicators, which must not be breached by the bank, are defined, and when approaching the established thresholds, measures should be taken to mitigate credit risk. The article also reflects on significant risks that the bank is willing to accept or intends to reject in order to achieve its business objectives. There are also scientific proposals and conclusions on the process of developing risk-appetite and risk profile indicators, a set of mechanisms and systems.
