Prioritizing Risk in Loan Assessment
A commercial bank is considering a large loan to an established fishing company that wants to expand its fleet to operate in a new, distant fishing ground known for its abundant but unpredictable fish populations. The company has a solid track record, but the CEO is nearing retirement, and there are rumors that their designated successor lacks the same operational expertise and diligence.
Critique the bank's lending decision by evaluating which of the two primary types of risk—those external to the project or those related to the borrower's actions—poses a more significant threat to loan repayment in this specific scenario. Justify your conclusion.
