Market Risk, FX Risk, IRR, Stress Testing & Liquidity Strategy in Emerging Markets

Market, FX and interest rate risk management built for emerging markets — dollarised systems, constrained liquidity and stress scenarios drawn from real events.

The programme

Emerging markets punish imported risk frameworks: currency volatility, constrained liquidity and macro-financial instability make textbook assumptions fail exactly when they are needed. This intensive masterclass equips banking professionals to manage market risk, FX risk, interest rate risk, liquidity and stress testing in these environments — including dollarised and semi-dollarised systems with limited access to long-term funding and growing regulatory scrutiny. Participants work through NII and EVE approaches to IRR, repricing gaps, duration analysis and behavioural assumptions, FX mismatch in dual-currency economies, and liquidity stress scenarios based on real market events. The through-line is alignment: ALCO governance, stronger risk culture across Finance, Risk and Treasury, and forward-looking balance-sheet strategy.

What you will do

Measure IRR with NII and EVE approaches, working through repricing gaps, duration analysis and behavioural assumptions.
Analyse FX mismatch risks in dual-currency economies and build mitigation suited to dollarised systems.
Design credible liquidity stress scenarios from real market events, and link stress testing to strategic decision-making.
Prepare for liquidity disruption with structured contingency planning, reading early warning indicators before the shock.
Trace how interest rate and FX shocks hit the capital structure and P&L, balancing profitability, liquidity and risk appetite.
Strengthen ALCO alignment and executive oversight, meeting emerging regulatory expectations for liquidity and market risk supervision.

Who attends

  • CROs, CFOs and executive directors
  • Heads of treasury and ALM, and senior market and liquidity risk managers
  • ALCO members and risk committee advisors

Frequently asked

What makes this course specific to emerging markets?

It is built for environments where imported risk frameworks fail: currency volatility, constrained liquidity and macro-financial instability, including dollarised and semi-dollarised systems with limited access to long-term funding. FX mismatch in dual-currency economies and liquidity stress scenarios based on real market events run through the programme.

How is interest rate risk covered?

Through both NII and EVE measurement approaches, with repricing gaps, duration analysis and behavioural assumptions worked in practice. Participants then trace how interest rate and FX shocks hit the capital structure and P&L, balancing profitability, liquidity and risk appetite.

Who should attend this intensive masterclass?

CROs, CFOs and executive directors; heads of treasury and ALM and senior market and liquidity risk managers; ALCO members and risk committee advisors; finance strategy, regulatory reporting and funding teams; and supervisory and audit officers from central banks and DFIs.

Who teaches this

Practitioners, not presenters.

Led by practitioners who have carried governance, risk and compliance accountability themselves: chief risk officers and heads of enterprise risk, heads of financial-crime compliance and certified anti-money-laundering specialists, internal-audit leaders and directors who sit on the committees these programmes prepare you for. Several hold current seats; all advise institutions under supervision between cohorts.

What the bench brings

  • Enterprise risk framework design and risk culture
  • Risk appetite, limits and risk and control self-assessment
  • Capital, liquidity and stress-testing frameworks
  • Operational risk and resilience
  • ALCO practice and treasury policy
  • Funds transfer pricing design and restructuring

Where they have practised

Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.

Sectors: Banking & financial services · Insurance · Professional services · Central banking & supervision

Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas

How they teach

  • Board-pack and committee case work
  • Chaired role plays and committee exercises
  • Group discussion of real incidents and findings
  • Self-assessments against supervisory expectations
  • Knowledge checks and a personal action plan

Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
