Liquidity Risk, Stress Testing and Inflation Masterclass

A practical framework for liquidity risk management and the Basel III standards, with stress testing built to hold in an inflationary rate environment.

The programme

Inflation changes the liquidity problem: rates move, deposits reprice or leave, and yesterday’s behavioural assumptions quietly expire. This masterclass takes a practical approach to liquidity, liquidity risk and the framework for implementing liquidity risk management in banks and financial institutions, together with the Basel III liquidity standards and the challenges of adopting them in a working banking environment. The crisis record is the starting point — banks with higher liquidity risk underperformed, shrank credit and paid more for deposits — and stress testing is the discipline drawn from it. Participants leave equipped to manage the balance sheet from the liquidity perspective, audit liquidity internally or externally, and carry stress-testing results into decision-making.

What you will do

Implement a liquidity risk management framework fit for an inflationary, rising-rate environment.
Embed a liquidity stress-testing framework and use its results in decision-making, not just reporting.
Manage liquidity through a crisis, recognising onset early through key risk indicators and activating the contingency funding plan.
Assess funding strategy, ALM and market access with a structured approach, tracking the factors that change funding cost.
Replace naive liquidity measures with a structured framework, beyond the current and quick ratios.
Optimise the balance sheet for liquidity purposes and support the bank’s asset-liability management.
Audit liquidity and the Basel III framework, with the governance and forecasting to back it.

Who attends

  • Risk, treasury and capital management teams
  • ALM, ALCO and ICAAP/ILAAP professionals
  • Finance professionals and financial controllers
  • Bank supervisors, investment managers and auditors

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Why does inflation change liquidity risk management?

Because rates move, deposits reprice or leave, and yesterday’s behavioural assumptions quietly expire. This masterclass builds a liquidity risk management framework fit for an inflationary, rising-rate environment, with stress testing designed to hold precisely when those assumptions break.

How does the course connect to the Basel III liquidity standards?

The programme covers the Basel III liquidity standards and the challenges of adopting them in a working banking environment, alongside liquidity governance, forecasting and contingency funding plans. Participants also learn to audit liquidity and the Basel III framework, internally or externally.
