Market Risk – IRRBB and CSRBB Implementation Masterclass

IRRBB metrics, governance and stress testing done properly — with CSRBB brought up to the standard supervisors now expect of the banking book.

The programme

Banks measured IRRBB for years while CSRBB sat in the margins; the low-rate environment and incoming regulatory guidelines have made credit spread risk in the banking book impossible to defer. This masterclass gives participants an in-depth working knowledge of market risk and IRRBB management — the metrics involved, best-practice approaches to modelling interest rate risk, and the computation of EVE and NII — together with measurement, reporting, stress testing (including reverse stress testing) and disclosure requirements, covered in practical detail. The cohort works through IRRBB governance frameworks, the Guidelines on IRRBB and CSRBB, the Regulatory Technical Standards on the IRRBB standardised approach, and what it takes to implement a best-practice IRRBB regime in your bank.

What you will do

Implement a best-practice IRRBB regime in your bank, with the governance frameworks to evaluate it.
Compute the risk metrics that matter — EVE and NII — and examine the effects of unpredictable rate changes.
Run IRRBB stress testing, including reverse stress testing, to measurement, reporting and disclosure standards.
Apply the Guidelines on IRRBB and CSRBB and the Regulatory Technical Standards on the IRRBB standardised approach.
Assess market risk with best-practice frameworks, evaluating the market risk of derivatives and portfolios.
Connect risk policies and reporting to strategic objectives, maintaining a strong risk culture within the organisation.

Who attends

  • Heads of ALM, treasury and balance-sheet management
  • Market risk, interest rate risk and funds transfer pricing teams

Frequently asked

What are IRRBB and CSRBB, and why cover them together?

IRRBB is interest rate risk in the banking book; CSRBB is credit spread risk in the banking book, which sat in the margins for years while banks measured IRRBB. The low-rate environment and incoming regulatory guidelines have made CSRBB impossible to defer, so the masterclass brings both up to the standard supervisors now expect.

Which metrics and regulatory texts does the course work through?

The computation of EVE and NII, best-practice approaches to modelling interest rate risk, and stress testing including reverse stress testing, with measurement, reporting and disclosure requirements covered in practical detail. The cohort applies the Guidelines on IRRBB and CSRBB and the Regulatory Technical Standards on the IRRBB standardised approach.

Who should attend, and is it available in-house?

Heads of ALM, treasury and balance-sheet management; market risk, interest rate risk and FTP teams; risk modelling, quantitative analysts and stress testing teams; credit risk and risk strategy functions; and supervision and regulation professionals.
