Sessions will examine liquidity risk, interest rate risk and the future of ALM and balance sheet management. Participants will explore the Alco process and best practices for treasury in supporting banking strategies. As volatile markets and volatile rates leave room for uncertainty, participants will gain insight into managing scenarios with a lack of relevant historical data and how to overcome challenges related to regulatory requirements.
Led by field experts, highly interactive exercises will encourage discussion about best practices in balance sheet management and learning how to implement strategies in their workplaces.
