What Banking Nexus does.
Bank risk management is how banks identify, measure, limit and carry the risks they take, from credit and liquidity to operational, model and climate risk, under prudential rules such as Basel III. Banking Nexus, the Global Risks Alliance’s platform for the sector, explains how those risks reach households, firms and the financial system; it assesses no bank and gives no advice.
Its community
Bank risk professionals; credit officers; treasury; banking technology and governance.
Its methods
Stress testing; operational resilience; credit and liquidity frameworks.
Its outputs
Bank resilience guides; cross-system exposure research; sector briefings.
Trace a shock in Banking Nexus to the balance sheet.
Assembled from the Nexus Standards area profile Banking: the shocks it names, the systems and sectors that carry the loss, the controls that dampen it and the data that observe it. Pick an initiating shock and step through the cascade to see which exposures it reaches and where losses could concentrate. The Map view places the run on an example geography with open data. Every weight is a stated assumption. An exercise, not a forecast, a valuation, a rating or investment advice. To model a place of your own choosing, open the full System Builder.

Banks sit where real-economy shocks become financial ones.
A bank’s balance sheet is a map of the economy it serves. Its loans are claims on households, firms and governments; its collateral is houses, land, equipment and inventories; its funding comes from depositors and markets that can withdraw quickly. Banking is inherently leveraged and involves maturity transformation, lending long against short-term funding. That is what makes it useful, and what makes it fragile.
Shocks arrive through several channels at once. A flood or drought impairs collateral and borrower income; an outage at a shared technology provider interrupts payments across many banks; a sudden loss of confidence drains deposits in hours through digital channels. Losses reduce capital, which reduces lending, which deepens the downturn that caused the losses. Concentrated exposures to the same regions, sectors or counterparties mean that many banks can be hit together.
Banks also depend on each other and on shared infrastructure: interbank funding, payment and settlement systems, cloud and software providers, and common models and data. Understanding these connections, and the way physical, technological and financial risks combine, is a shared problem no single bank can solve from inside its own balance sheet.
What Banking Nexus means for exposure, loss and capital.
The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.
Scenario pathways
How Banking Nexus could be stressed under the scenario families central banks and supervisors use.
| Scenario family | Transition risk | Physical risk | What a stress test asks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orderly | Early, gradual policy | Lower | Can the book absorb a steady repricing? |
| Disorderly | Late, abrupt policy | Lower to medium | What breaks under a sudden repricing and credit migration? |
| Hot house world | Limited policy | High and rising | Where do physical losses concentrate in collateral and insurance? |
Disclosure crosswalk
Where evidence on Banking Nexus fits the disclosure and prudential frameworks institutions report against.

Shared industry understanding, not bank-specific advice.
Banking Nexus is designed for bank risk professionals, credit officers, treasury teams and specialists in banking technology and governance. Its methods are stress testing, operational resilience analysis and credit and liquidity frameworks.
Bank resilience guides
Precompetitive guidance on shared resilience questions, developed with practitioners and researchers.
Cross-system exposure research
Aggregated research on how hazards, technology and other sectors reach bank balance sheets.
Sector briefings
Concise briefings on emerging issues for the banking profession.
GRA is a nonprofit business league for the financial services industry. It does not lend, underwrite, rate, invest, advise on or arrange transactions, introduce counterparties or take transaction-based pay, and readiness work is not approval.
A loan book under scenario families.
How physical and transition risk could reach a loan book under different scenarios. Illustrative design values.
Five methods, four chapters and many counterparts.
Banking Nexus draws on five canonical methods: financial economics and macro-finance, probability and statistics, network science and contagion, financial and risk engineering and artificial intelligence and machine learning; see the STEM foundation of Banking Nexus. Four chapters carry focused work: Trade and Supply Chain Finance, Housing and Property Finance, Financial Services Risk Management and Islamic Finance and Takaful.
The hazard and dependency evidence that banks need comes from The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), on platforms such as Climate and Hazards, Water Nexus, Energy Nexus and Disaster Resilience. Governance dialogue on capital and climate is convened by the Global Risks Forum (GRF) on Capital Nexus and Climate and Nature Governance. See all counterparts.
The areas of financial stability this platform takes on.
Banking Nexus studies how banks take, measure and carry risk, and how that risk reaches households, firms and the wider financial system. Its pages cover credit and counterparty exposure, capital and liquidity, operational and third-party resilience, payment dependencies, climate and nature risk, models and AI, governance and Islamic banking. Each page sets out mechanisms, indicators, sources, methods and the board and supervisory decisions the evidence serves. It is shared industry understanding from the Global Risks Alliance, not investment or financial advice.
Credit and counterparty risk
Default, migration and concentration in loan books and trading exposures, and how losses pass between counterparties.
Capital and liquidity
Loss-absorbing capital, liquidity buffers and funding structures, and how they behave when markets and depositors come under stress.
Operational resilience
Continuity of important services through cyber incidents, third-party failures and process breakdowns, within stated impact tolerances.
Payments and market infrastructure
Payment systems, central counterparties, settlement systems and the digital services banks depend on to move money and collateral.
Climate and nature risk
Physical and transition risk to loan books and collateral across short, medium and long horizons, explored through scenario analysis.
Models and AI
Credit scoring, provisioning and capital models, and the validation and governance that machine learning now demands.
Banking and the real economy
Lending to households, small firms, housing and essential services, and how bank stress becomes a credit squeeze.
Governance and supervision
Boards, risk culture, lines of defence, supervisory review and resolution planning, including the structures of Islamic banking.
Built on named science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

How work moves in this field.
A question becomes evidence, a governed build, an organised community, a controlled test, a reviewed publication and, finally, a decision taken by the competent authority under its own rules.

How this works across the six pillars.
Banking Nexus works through six pillars of one annual programme, led by the Nexus Consortium, with GCRI, GRF and GRA each contributing in its role: explore, experiment and prototype in Labs, build, simulate and prepare in Foundry, convene and test in Universe, codify, correct and apply in Nexus Standards, publish in every format in Reports, teach in the open in Risk Academy.
