Liquidity creation is a bank’s core function and its most dangerous one. The subprime crisis made the point: banks carrying higher liquidity risk suffered worse stock performance, cut credit production harder and paid more for deposits — which is why the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision imposed its two liquidity regulations. This masterclass builds a practical framework for implementing liquidity risk management in banks and financial institutions, works through the Basel III liquidity standards and the difficulty of adopting them in a live banking environment, and equips participants to manage the balance sheet from the liquidity perspective or audit it. The cohort leaves with the tools to embed a liquidity stress-testing framework and carry its results into decision-making.

Frequently asked
How does this course differ from a general liquidity risk programme?
It starts from the crisis record: banks carrying higher liquidity risk suffered worse stock performance, cut credit production harder and paid more for deposits through the subprime crisis — the evidence behind the Basel Committee’s two liquidity regulations. The framework, stress testing and audit discipline taught in the programme are built on that record.
Who should attend?
Risk, treasury and capital management teams; ALM, ALCO and ICAAP/ILAAP professionals; finance, accounting and financial control functions; bank supervisors and auditors; and business heads and recovery and crisis management teams. Participants leave equipped to manage the balance sheet from the liquidity perspective or to audit it.
