A tariff announcement in Washington can drain dollar liquidity from an emerging-market bank within weeks. When US trade policy turns, the transmission is brutal: currency volatility hits the balance sheet, USD funding dries up, capital flees and defaults climb — all at once. This programme works through each channel in turn: hedging FX exposure, defending liquidity buffers through a dollar shortage, containing capital flight and strengthening RWA management for stress-testing scrutiny. The cohort dissects Turkey 2018 and Argentina 2019, runs live stress tests and leaves with an actionable crisis response plan for their own institution.

How does the programme prepare a bank for a real crisis?
It works through each transmission channel in turn — hedging FX exposure, defending liquidity buffers through a dollar shortage, containing capital flight and strengthening RWA management for stress-testing scrutiny. The cohort dissects Turkey 2018 and Argentina 2019, runs live stress tests and leaves with an actionable crisis response plan for its own institution.
Is the course available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your bank’s currency exposures and funding structure. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
Who teaches this
Practitioners, not presenters.
Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.
What the bench brings
- ALCO practice and treasury policy
- Funds transfer pricing design and restructuring
- IRRBB measurement: EVE and NII sensitivity
- Liquidity risk: LCR, NSFR and contingency funding
- Financial modelling, valuation and forecasting
- Treasury products and trading-book management
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Banking & financial services · Professional services · Technology & fintech · Central banking & supervision

How they teach

- 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.
