| | Financial risk management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Financial risk management is the practice of creating value in a firm by using financial instruments to manage exposure to risk. | | | Similar to general risk management, financial risk management requires identifying the sources of risk, measuring risk, and plans to address them. | | | Derivatives are commonly used in financial risk management, because of their ability to offset specific risks, such as interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. |

| | Speech, Greenspan--International financial risk management--November 19, 2002 |
| | The perceived risk of default of both financial and nonfinancial firms has risen markedly in the wake of company-threatening scandals, though levels remain moderate for most. | | | The inevitable rise in potential systemic risks as the international financial system inexorably expands can be contained by improvements in effective risk management in the private sector, improvements in domestic bank supervision and regulation, continued cooperation among financial authorities, and, should it be necessary, by central banks acting as lenders of last resort. | | | If private financial institutions have to absorb all financial risk, then the degree to which they can leverage will be limited, the financial sector smaller, and its contribution to the economy more limited. |
