The Portfolio Risk and Institution Simulation Model (PRISM) is a forecasting tool designed to assist CDIC in performing risk analyses on member institutions. The basic premise underlying the model is that the forecast of future performance is uncertain. Rather than producing a single outcome as in traditional forecasting, PRISM produces a range of forecast outcomes with associated probabilities of occurrence, which should provide valuable insight into the volatility, or risk, an institution may be subject to in the future. 1, record 5, English, - Portfolio%20Risk%20and%20Institution%20Simulation%20Model

Le Modèle d'évaluation des risques par simulation (MERS) sert à établir des prévisions quant au risque que pourraient représenter, pour la SADC, ses institutions membres. Ce modèle repose sur le principe que toute prévision est incertaine. Contrairement aux méthodes de prévision traditionnelles, dont ne se dégage qu'un seul scénario possible, le MERS aboutit à plusieurs résultats possibles selon différentes conjonctures et détermine leurs probabilités de réalisation. 1, record 5, French, - Mod%C3%A8le%20d%27%C3%A9valuation%20des%20risques%20par%20simulation
