What is operational risk in a bank?

Operational risk concerns losses linked to failures in processes, people, systems or external events.

Get the quick answer

Operational risk concerns losses linked to failures in processes, people, systems or external events. It is distinct from a borrower failing to repay or a market price moving adversely. Capital rules address a defined risk framework; one amendment is not proof that a particular bank has suffered a new loss.
