Adopting a macro perspective is crucial for evaluating corporate creditworthiness, beyond just repayment ability.
Broader economic factors like supply chain risks and geopolitical issues significantly impact a company's risk profile.
Credit risk assessments should also consider governance, fraud, and operational resilience, using comprehensive data analysis.
Monitoring economic trends and geopolitical tensions is essential for mitigating risks in a challenging economic climate.
Setting credit limits requires balancing company-specific risks with broader economic trends and the need for diversification.
Continuous adaptation, leveraging technology, and robust fraud prevention are key to managing an evolving risk environment effectively.
