The Office of the Superintendencia Bancaria (Banking Superintendency)2 in Colombia took an initial step in this direction in January 2002 when it set capital requirements based on MR. Nevertheless, this Law has come under fire lately, particularly concerning the suitability of the method used to measure and hedge exposure properly. In this respect, the objective of the present article is to present the results of MR estimates based on alternative methods for comparing and evaluating the usefulness of current requirements. The calculations presented herein refer to the standard model proposed by the Basel Committee and to the value-at-risk (VaR) models included in both the historic simulation method and the variance and covariance-based technique (EWMA approach) proposed by RiskMetrics.12 páginas : ilustraciones, tablasPDFspaOpen AccessRiesgoCréditoPortafolioMétodos de simulaciónColombiaWorking PaperG21 - Banks; Depository Institutions; Micro Finance Institutions; MortgagesG29 - Financial Institutions and Services: OtherD81 - Criteria for Decision-Making under Risk and UncertaintyRiskCreditPortfolioSimulation methodsColombiaCapital de riesgo -- Evaluación -- ColombiaRiesgo crediticio -- Evaluación -- MetodologíaRiesgo crediticio -- Evaluación -- ColombiaAcceso abiertoAtribucion-NoComercial-CompartirIgual CC BY-NC-SA 4.0G21 - Bancos; Instituciones de depósito; Instituciones Microfinancieras; HipotecasG29 - Instituciones y servicios financieros: OtrosD81 - Criterios para la toma de decisiones con riesgo e incertidumbreLas opiniones contenidas en el presente documento son responsabilidad exclusiva de los autores y no comprometen al Banco de la República ni a su Junta Directiva.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12134/2084
