Familiarity with credit analysis tools, risk rating systems, and regulatory compliance frameworks such as Basel II/III is important, as well as proficiency in Excel and financial modeling software. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for evaluating creditworthiness and presenting findings.
