Since the emergence of globalization, there have been rapid integration of financial markets of different countries all over the world. No country's financial system is fully independent from financial developments and financial disasters happening in different other countries across the world. Different countries' financial markets have been more and more integrating with each other mainly over the last three decades. There have been many phases of financial development in both developed and developing nations in the world and these developments have in turn steered the creation of new and complex financial products like derivatives. The overall volatility observed in financial markets have been increasing day by day and the profession of 'Financial Risk Management' is gaining importance. The value at risk (VaR) method has been developed in the financial risk management domain and has over time became a benchmark for measuring overall 'Market risk' of any financial institution. It measures financial risk with the help of a probabilistic measure. It is also able to capture the risk arising from various market factors like Interest Rate Risk, Equity Price Risk and Foreign Exchange Risk of a financial institution in just one single number which is easily understood by anyone. Due to its accuracy and simplicity, the usage of VaR is extending to calculate different risks like credit and operational risk.
