Sevenimportantlessons

Aspolicymakersandregulatorsbegintoconsidertheregulatoryactionstobetakentoaddressthefallings,Ibelieveitisusefultoreflectonsomeofthelessonsfromtiffscrisis.

Thefirstisthatriskmanagementshouldnotbeentirelypredicatedonhistoricaldata.Inthepastseveralmonths,wehaveheardthephrase"multiplestandarddeviationevents"morethanafewtimes.Ifeventsthatwerecalculatedtooccuroncein20yearsinfactoccurredmuchmoreregularly,itdoesnottakeamathematiciantofigureoutthatriskmanagementassumptionsdidnotreflectthedistributionoftheactualoutcomes.Ourindustrymustdomoretoenhanceandimprovescenarioanalysisandstresstesting.

Second,toomanyfinancialinstitutionsandinvestorssimplyoutsourcedtheirriskmanagement.Ratherthanundertaketheirownanalysis,theyreliedontheratingagenciestodotheessentialworkofriskanalysisforthem.Thiswastrueattheinception(初期)andovertheperiodoftheinvestment,duringwhichtimetheydidnotconsiderotherindicatorsoffinancialdeterioration.

Thisover-dependenceoncreditratingscoincidedwiththedilutionofthedesiredtripleA-rating.InJanuary2008,therewere12tripleA-ratedcompaniesintheworld.Atthesametime,therewere64,000structuredfinanceinstruments,suchascollateralizeddebtobligations,ratedtripleA.Itiseasyandappropriatetoblametheratingagenciesforlapsesintheircreditjudgments.Buttheblamefortheresultisnottheirs'alone.Everyfinancialinstitutionthatparticipatedintheprocesshastoacceptitsshareoftheresponsibility.
