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

Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?

Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.

Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?

Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.

How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?

Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.

Can a programme run in-house for our bank?

Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.
