Goal

In the middle of the pandemic, with no timely macro data and no comparable history, know which client companies were entering recession or still growing, to estimate their liquidity and payment capacity for risk.

What I did

  • We built per-company time series from the bank's own data: usage across its different products.
  • We implemented an NBER-style monitoring framework to date turning points and separate recession from growth in each series, processing data from Teradata with Spark and orchestrating it with Airflow.
  • We turned those signals into liquidity and payment-capacity indicators for the risk team.
