  • First Online:
Risk Measurement

Abstract

In this chapter, considering the Basel framework (BCBS, International convergence of capital measurement and capital standards: A revised framework, comprehensive version, http://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs128, 2006), we offer a brief overview of financial regulation regarding both risk measures and risk measurement and their impact on risk management. In this chapter the financial regulation will be presented per risk type. This chapter aims at providing elements to put risk measurement into perspective and to provide concrete elements regarding their limitations once applied.
