Probability of Default – PD

The probability of default (also call Expected default frequency) is the likelihood that a loan will not be repaid and will fall into default. PD is calculated for each client who has a loan (for wholesale banking) or for a portfolio of clients with similar attributes (for retail banking). The credit history of the counterparty / portfolio and nature of the investment are taken into account to calculate the PD.
