The Challenge
Following the 2023 fuel subsidy removal, the client needed to understand which sectors of their loan book were most exposed to the resulting inflation shock, faster than lagging national indicators could show.
KainosEdge Approach
KainosEdge built a continuous environmental scan across 34 sectors, tracking price and cost signals as they emerged rather than waiting for quarterly releases.
Core Features
- Sector-by-sector inflation exposure modelling
- Continuous monitoring rather than point-in-time reporting
- Early-warning thresholds tied to portfolio risk
Value Delivered
The client re-weighted exposure across its portfolio ahead of the sectors that turned out to be hit hardest.
Results & Impact
34 sectors modelled, with exposure flags delivered weeks ahead of official data.
