As part of CRM, the Banks, Country & Political Risk team identifies, measures, monitors and controls credit default and migration and political risks and ensures that company's credit and political risk profiles are clear to management and appropriate relative to our risk appetite. Team members are in New York, London, Zurich and Bangalore and work in a synchronized manner, often to meet established goals.
