CREDIT OUTLOOK

Quarterly Member Surveys on Credit Outlook

Quarterly Member Surveys on Credit Outlook are conducted at the end of each quarter. The goal of this IACPM member survey is to create a quick snapshot of current credit risk views, and actions, and an information base for IACPM members to discuss likely evolutions of the credit cycle over time.

We calculate diffusion indices as indicators of outlook. In short: A positive index indicates credit improvement. For a description of the index calculation please refer to the following document: Diffusion Index Definition (pdf).
