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.

It maps the exposure channels through which African banks feel global shocks — energy prices, currency volatility, cross-border payment disruption and rising cyber risk — into the enterprise risk framework. The cohort works through scenario design built on geopolitical shocks, contingency funding and liquidity preparedness, sanctions and AML compliance, and the governance that keeps operations running through crisis.
