    Solution

    Loss Given Default (LGD) refers to the potential loss a lender faces in the event of default, after accounting for the recoveries that can be made through collateral, guarantees, and other mechanisms. LGD is one of the three components that are required for estimation of credit risk under the expected loss model. The other two components are Probability of default (PD) and Exposure at default (EAD).
