Concentration of Credit Risk

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk refers to the potential for financial loss arising from a significant portion of credit exposure being concentrated with a single counterparty or group of related counterparties. This concentration risk definition highlights the vulnerability of an entity’s financial position due to lack of diversification in its credit portfolio, which can lead to increased risk of default. Effective management of this risk is crucial for maintaining financial stability.
