  5. Support the estimation and validation of IFC’s risk parameters such as default probabilities (PD), loss estimates (LGD), and exposure (EAD).
  6. Support internal clients for questions on economic capital treatment and stress testing.

  6. Experience with current regulatory practices (Basel, US GAAP, IFRS) is considered a plus;
  7. Good written and oral communication skills, including the ability to document complex analyses and statistical results in straightforward terms;
  8. A strong work ethic and a solid team player to work in the international and multicultural work environment within CRMCA and across the IFC; organizational skills and the ability to multitask, meet tight deadlines, and work efficiently in multicultural teams;
