For example, when a claim is first reported, a $100 payment might be made, and a $900 case reserve might be established, for a total initial reported amount of $1000. However, the claim may later settle for a larger amount, resulting in $2000 of payments from the insurer to the claimant before the claim is closed.
For example, if a portfolio of stocks has a one-day 5% VaR of $1 million, that means that there is a 0.05 probability that the portfolio will fall in value by more than $1 million over a one-day period if there is no trading. Informally, a loss of $1 million or more on this portfolio is expected on 1 day out of 20 days (because of 5% probability).
The loss random variable is the starting point in the determination of any type of actuarial reserve calculation. Define K ( x ) {\displaystyle K(x)} to be the future state lifetime random variable of a person aged x.
The balance of payments identity establishes that the current account is equal to the capital account plus the accumulation of international reserves.Therefore, a large slowdown in capital inflows is met either by a loss of international reserves and/or a lower current account deficit, both of which have negative economic effects.
The natural rate is the return on capital—or the real profit rate. It can be roughly considered to be equivalent to the marginal product of new capital. The money rate, in turn, is the loan rate, an entirely financial construction. Credit, then, is perceived quite appropriately as "money".
In 2023, the Federal Reserve spent $114.3 billion more than it brought in — its largest operating loss on record. Compared to 2022 when the central bank brought in a net income of $58.8 billion ...
As an example of direct intervention to manage currency valuation, in the 20th century Great Britain's central bank, the Bank of England, would sometimes use its reserves to buy large amounts of pound sterling to prevent it falling in value. Black Wednesday was a case where it had insufficient reserves of foreign currency to do this ...
An idealized representation of the four kinds of reserve power and the time intervals after an unexpected failure that they are in use. [1]In electricity networks, the operating reserve is the generating capacity available to the system operator within a short interval of time to meet demand in case a generator goes down or there is another disruption to the supply.
