A default probability estimation on credit card loan using the modified KMV-MERTON distance-to-default / Afiqah Mokhtar

Having and holding a number of credit cards among young Malaysians is a normal scenario right now. They claim that by having a number of credit cards, it reflects their socio economy status. Without realizing the effect of the excess usage of credit card, most young Malaysians declare bankruptcy due...

Debt. Loans Analysis Having and holding a number of credit cards among young Malaysians is a normal scenario right now. They claim that by having a number of credit cards, it reflects their socio economy status. Without realizing the effect of the excess usage of credit card, most young Malaysians declare bankruptcy due to credit card debts. This study intends to estimate the probability of default of credit card debts by modeling the default probabilities for four different scenarios as listed by Central Bank of Malaysia using the KMV-Merton framework. It is suggested that the distance-to-default model could be a helpful measure in estimating the credit card default. The distance to default (DD) model is developed to provide probabilistic assessment of an individual's likelihood to default on credit card debts. The larger the value of the distance-to-default, the greater the distance of an individual from the default and the lower the probability of default. The smaller the distance-to-default, the smaller the distance of an individual from the default and the higher the probability of default. However, in certain circumstances, the DD becomes unavailable due to its structural constraints. Therefore, modified distance to default formula is obtained in this study. The variables involved in calculating the probability of default of the credit card debt are saving and its volatility, outstanding balances of the credit card and its volatility, and the number of late or missed payment over the sample period of time. Since the individual's saving in a month is uncertain and unpredictable, this study aims to derive Geometric Brownian motion on the fluctuating value of the individual's saving. While, the value of the outstanding balances is obtained by simulating the data based on guidelines and informations provided by Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) and Central Bank of Malaysia regarding credit card default. However, the model also requires a number of assumptions in order to make sure the result is predictable. Based on the results obtained, it shows that the estimated probability of default of the credit card debt for each scenario is reliable in accordance with the nature of the credit card default itself. Thus, it verifies that the modified default probability. In addition, this study serves as a guide for researchers to extend the research work covering larger sample size and further conceptual framework. 2015 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/73245/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/73245/1/73245.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences Samson, Aziz
