Financial Risk Management:
A Practical Approach for Emerging Markets

Prepared in association with the Inter-American Development Bank, Grupo Santander and the Caribbean Development Bank, this is an excellent general text on financial risk management. Its purpose is to offer reliable guidance to financial and non-financial institutions operating in emerging markets, but the book's clear descriptions of financial modeling techniques, risk management policies and recommended risk reports will appeal to risk managers in any market.

The book is well written and material is arranged in a logical order. Opening chapters discuss the purpose of risk management and organizational issues. Four chapters address market risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk. There are also chapters on commercial banking, risk systems and training. Two chapters address techniques of measuring market risk and credit risk. An excellent chapter discusses issues of particular importance to Latin America, including Brady bonds, inflation-linked debt and illiquidity. 

Overall, this is an outstanding book. I highly recommend it for anyone who is implementing risk management within an organization, but especially for professionals with less than two years experience in risk management.
