Solution

Counterparty risk is a variant of credit risk. The counterparty risk arises from nonperformance of the trading partners. The non-performance may arise from counterparty’s refusal/inability to perform due to adverse price movements or from external constraints that were not anticipated by the principal. The counterparty risk is generally viewed as a transient financial risk associated with trading rather than standard credit risk.
