August 12 Webinar: Good Models, Bad Scenarios? Delinquency, Forbearance, and COVID
Recorded: August 12th | 1:00 p.m. EDT
Business-as usual macroeconomic scenarios that seemed sensible a few months ago are now obviously incorrect. Off-the-shelf models likely need enhancements. How can institutions adapt?
Credit modelers don’t need to predict the future. They just need to forecast how borrowers are likely to respond to changing economic conditions. This requires robust datasets and insightful scenario building.
Let our panel of experts walk you through how they approach scenario building, including:
- How mortgage delinquencies have traditionally tracked unemployment and how these assumptions may need to be altered when unemployment is concentrated in non-homeowning population segments.
- The likely impacts of home purchases and HPI on credit performance.
- Techniques for translating macroeconomic scenarios into prepayment and default vectors.
