Banking is the life line of the economy. Prosperity and adversity of an economy hinges upon the performance of its banking sector. Banks are primarily engaged in mobilisation of funds and its subsequent channelization towards productive activities which are must for economic development. In trying to do so banks are exposed to wide variety of risks, an effective and efficient bank risk management is essential but not so easy. In fact risk management in banks is over sold conceptually yet under utilised in practice. In this backdrop, we felt the need for a book which through flood light on different dimensions of risk management in banks. This has resulted in to the emergence of this book. It is our immense pleasure to place this book with humbleness in to the hands of readers so as to add to pool of their knowledge.
