Strengthening Banking Stability & Resilience During Crisis Masterclass

Geopolitical shock management for banks — liquidity preparedness, Basel III capital, sanctions compliance and operational continuity when global markets turn hostile.

The programme

Geopolitical conflict, sanctions, energy market volatility and cyber threats are reshaping the financial system — and African banks feel the shocks through energy prices, currency volatility, cross-border payment disruption and rising cyber risk. Regulators and central banks are explicit: resilience frameworks must hold during global uncertainty, not just in calm markets. This masterclass equips banking professionals to manage geopolitical risk within the enterprise risk framework, meet Basel III expectations on capital, liquidity and stress testing, tighten sanctions and AML compliance, and keep operations running through crisis. The cohort works through scenario design, contingency funding and the governance that protects institutional stability when markets do not.

What you will do

Map geopolitical risk into the enterprise risk framework, from conflict-driven market shocks to cross-border payment disruption.
Run liquidity and funding risk strategies that hold under stress, including contingency funding plans.
Design advanced stress scenarios built on geopolitical shocks and macroeconomic disruption.
Meet Basel III expectations on capital, liquidity and stress testing through crisis conditions.
Tighten sanctions compliance, AML and cross-border payment monitoring before supervisors force the issue.
Harden cyber resilience and protect critical banking infrastructure from geopolitical cyber threats.
Build crisis management and operational continuity plans with strategic risk governance behind them.
