Risk taxonomies in agricultural microfinance
Tuesday, November 6, 2018
15:00 – 16:00 (CET)
The goal of the webinar is to introduce risk taxonomy as a key component of operational risk management and credit risk management for microfinance institutions looking to serve farmers in developing countries.
Risk management, as a field and a body of knowledge, has been used sparsely in agriculture finance, especially at the microfinance level. Participants in this webinar will learn about risk taxonomies as an effective tool to classify risk. Applications for credit scoring, climate smart agriculture, risk modeling using system dynamic models and others are going to be shared.
Therefore, the emphasis is on the importance that risk taxonomies have in the present and are going to have in the near future.
