About the course
In light of last year’s bank failures, which were largely due to inadequate liquidity risk management, stress-testing has become more important than ever. This course offers an in-depth exploration of the design and implementation of liquidity stress tests for banks. Participants will learn how to calibrate stress scenarios, apply simulation techniques and adhere to best practices for data collection, as well as interpret the outcomes.
Industry experts will discuss the expectations for ILAAP and provide an example of a stress-testing programme that aligns with the approach suggested by the European Central Bank (ECB). Attendees will also explore case studies that illustrate how to integrate climate risk into the liquidity stress-testing measurement framework, covering both counterbalancing capacity and outflows.
