"Key Risk Indicators: The Risk Mitigators" is a definitive and comprehensive guide developed to support banking professionals, risk officers, compliance heads, governance leaders, and learners in understanding and implementing Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) as part of a proactive and data-driven risk management framework. In today’s highly regulated and rapidly evolving financial landscape, KRIs serve as an early warning system that allows institutions to identify emerging threats before they escalate into material risk events.

This book provides an end-to-end perspective on the role of KRIs in modern banking, from foundational definitions and regulatory mandates to practical implementation, measurement techniques, and strategic decision-making. It explores how KRIs apply across major risk categories—including credit risk, market risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, and reputational risk—and how banks can leverage them to enhance resilience, transparency, and governance.

Chapters delve into key topics such as the Basel regulatory framework, the role of supervisory authorities, data governance, developing effective KRI thresholds, integration with enterprise risk management systems, and the use of predictive analytics and technology in real-time monitoring. Real-world case studies illustrate successful implementations and lessons learned, while future-facing sections discuss the impact of AI, big data, and evolving regulatory trends on KRI evolution.
