What is the objective of credit analysis?

The objective of credit analysis is to look at both the borrower and the lending facility being proposed and to assign a risk rating. The risk rating is derived by estimating the probability of default by the borrower at a given confidence level over the life of the facility, and by estimating the amount of loss that the lender would suffer in the event of default

The main objective of the credit analysis is to assess the risk of default (called credit risk) objectively so as to enable Credit Committees to take appropriate decision regarding the sanctioning of the credit facilities. The accurate measurement of risk of default not only helps in defining appropriate collateral security to mitigate the risk but also on deciding the right pricing for the risk.
