Evaluating Lender Challenges in Mitigating Loan Default Risks
A commercial bank is developing a new lending policy for agricultural businesses. These loans are subject to two primary categories of risk that could lead to default: 1) Unpredictable external events, such as severe weather or sudden drops in crop prices, and 2) The borrower's private decisions, such as the level of effort they apply to farming or their choice of farming techniques. From the bank's perspective, which of these two categories of risk presents a more significant challenge to manage and mitigate? Justify your position by explaining the difficulties associated with monitoring and controlling each type of risk.
