Description
Summary:The Basle II Accord motivates a study of permissible internal models which can potentially decrease risk capital requirements. A PCA-GARCH interest rate risk model is considered. PCA is introduced to reduce dimensionality in the Philippine Government Curve. Volatility dynamics are modeled using different GARCH extensions. Finally, the selected PCA-GARCH model is tested under the Basle framework for market risk, using a representative fixed-income portfolio. Research findings show that a PCA-GARCH specified model can adequately capture the volatility dynamics in term structure of Philippine interest rates using two principal components and shows significant potential as an internal model for Value-at-Risk and Market Risk Capital under the Basle standard.
