4.3.11 Forecast Balance Rules

This module discusses about the modeling of new business activities through the Forecast Balance rules. These rules are included in assumption setup and processing.

Within a Forecast Balance rule, you specify the amount of new activity generated per modeling bucket on each MDBSS node within each active currency. To create a new business assumption, you can select the available forecasting methods. You can further tailor the new business assumptions to meet your expectations of future originations, including the effect of interest rates on new business amounts.

Note:

All forecast rules and dynamic processing in ALMCS use the Multi Dimensional Balance Sheet Structure (MDBSS) instead of a single dimension hierarchy, like Product. Forecast rules that are intended to be processed together must all share a common MDBSS.
