From the data given below, calculate the standard deviation of the credit portfolio assuming that facility's exposure is known with certainty, customer defaults and LGDs are independent of one another and LGDs are independent across borrower(s).
Credit Facility A -- Loss Equivalent Exposure of $60m, expected Default frequency of 1.5%, loss given default
of 30%, Std Deviation of LGD -- 5% and Correlation to portfolio -- 0.10
Credit Facility B -- Loss Equivalent Exposure of $25m, expected Default frequency of 2%, loss given default of 12%, Std Deviation of LGD -- 12% and Correlation to portfolio -- 0.45
Credit Facility C -- Loss Equivalent Exposure of $15m, expected Default frequency of 5%, loss given default of 85%, Std Deviation of LGD -- 18% and Correlation to portfolio -- 0.22

Two credit analysts are discussing the DM-approach to credit risk modeling. They make the following statements:
Analyst A: A portfolio's standard deviation of credit losses can be determined by considering the standard deviation of credit losses of individual exposures in the portfolio and summing them all up.
Analyst B: I do not fully agree with that. Apart from individual standard deviations, one also needs to consider the correlation of the exposure with the rest of the portfolio so as to account for diversification effects. Higher correlations among credit exposures will lead to higher standard deviation of the overall portfolio.

Developments as on March 31, 2015
The project manager for the SPV made following comments at a press conferee on March 31, 2015:
As you all are aware, we were running bang on schedule till we last met on December 21, 2014. From today we are just left with one more year to complete the project in time. However, the flash floods which struck our dam site on this March 15, 2015 have created havoc in the region. I shall not point out the loss of lives in the region as you all are well aware of those. Our project has also been badly hit due to the same and we have been assessing the damage over the last one week. After analyzing damage, we have made changes in project schedule. Now we will be making only one unit of 150 MW operational on April 1, 2016 and 1 unit each will be added in each of subsequent year(s).
Development as on September 30, 2015
Post the flash floods, lot of environmentalists started raising issues of changes in environment due to construction of large number of dams. A few Public Interest Litigations (PILs) have been filed in various courts.
Honorable High Court of MP on September 27, 2015, banned construction of any dams in the region and banned permissions for new dams till next hearing scheduled on November 30, 2015. MCC in its press release has indicated that they will apply to the higher court on the matter.
