medium · Frm Part 2 Credit Risk

A bank utilizes a 'through-the-cycle' (TTC) rating system. During a sharp economic downturn, what behavior should the risk department expect to observe in its credit ratings and realized default rates?

  1. Ratings will migrate upward as the bank tightens its underwriting standards during the crisis.
  2. Ratings migrate downward heavily, but realized default rates within each grade remain stable.
  3. Ratings remain stable, but realized default rates within each rating grade increase.
  4. Both ratings and realized default rates will remain stable due to the long-term calibration.
