Concentration risk may arise from excessive exposure to individuals or groups of counterparties and asset types. Safeguarding against credit concentration to different types of counterparties, industries, geographic regions, and asset classes must form the basis of concentration risk management. BoM through this guideline enunciates the regulatory credit concentration limits and the basic framework of credit concentration risk management to be put in place by financial institutions.
