Development of an Impairment Point in Time Probability of Default Model for Revolving Retail Credit Products: South African Case Study

A new methodology to derive IFRS 9 PiT PDs is proposed. The methodology first derives a PiT term structure with accompanying segmented term structures. Secondly, the calibration of credit scores using the Lorenz curve approach is used to create account-specific PD term structures. The PiT term struc...
