Observation Assessment Matrix System

Integrated Compliance Measurement and Assessment System [ ICMAS | Leads Tracking System ]

For each credit assessment system, the ECAF performance monitoring process consists of an annual ex-post comparison of: (a) the observed default rates for all eligible entities and instruments rated by the credit assessment system, where these entities and instruments are grouped into static pools based on certain characteristics, e.g. credit rating, asset class, industry sector, credit assessment model; and (b) the appropriate credit quality threshold of the Eurosystem given by the benchmark PD (two benchmark PDs are considered: a 0 ...[+++],10 % PD over a one-year horizon which is considered equivalent to a credit assessment of credit quality step 2; and a 0,40 % PD over a one-year horizon which is considered equivalent to a credit assessment of credit quality step 3 of the Eurosystem harmonised rating scale).

The observed default rate of the static pools of a credit assessment system recorded over a one-year horizon serves as input to the ECAF performance monitoring process, which comprises an annual rule and a multi-period assessment.
