Guillaume Olivier

Policy expert, team leader of CRR 3 – credit risk

European Banking Authority

 

For the past decade, I have been working on regulatory products in the area of credit risk, with an initial focus on modelling (EBA “IRB repair” and benchmarking programs). I have also contributed to the finalisation of the Basel 3 standards and its implementation in the EU banking regulatory package (CRR 3). 
Currently, I am coordinating the work on credit risk in relation to the mandates arising from CRR 3. This covers the new provisions in the standardised approach, such as specifications on off-balance-sheet items and the risk weighting of exposures related to real estate. On the modelling side, the focus is on the recognition of credit insurance in the framework, the revision of the definition of default and the modelling of credit conversion factors (CCF).
