Introduction to the EBA NPL Templates

Introduction to the EBA NPL Templates

Reading Time: 3 min.

Summary

The Open Risk Academy course NPL270672 is a CrashCourse introducing the EBA NPL Templates.

Content

We start with the motivation for the templates and the domain of credit data (to which NPL data belongs). We discuss three core classes that capture the essence of lending operations from a lenders point of view (Counterparty, Loan, Collateral). Next we explore classes that capture events in the lending relationship lifecycle (which we term NPL Scenarios). We look into the main data types: elementary data types, choice lists, arrays and unstructured text. We close with discussing some more complex issues involving graph and timeseries data.
