Themarked difference between the old Basel Capital Accord and the new one is to introduce theasset risk into the requirement of the minimum capital, which increases the risk sensitivenessof bank asset greatly, especially the Internal Rating Based Approach (IRB), which can also beregarded as a big challenge for the banking all over the world. China, as an emerging-marketcountry, whose banking reformation began very late, hangs behind in the risk management ofbank asset. Nowadays Chinese banking has to face two problems. The first one: how toimprove the management of credit risk and how to connect with the normal standard ofinternational banking earlier? The second one: how to establish an advanced, scientific andeffective International Rating System (IRS)?As to establishing IRS for Chinese commercial banks, both of the ways, staying in oldsystem or copying from foreign countries, come to a dead end.
