About the course:

 

Liquidity is a focus area for banks around the globe, in the Americas, and particularly on the leading edge in the United States. Banks are all heavily investing in advanced technology and infrastructure to manage liquidity in response to the Basel III, the upcoming Basel IV, and evolving country supervisor capital adequacy guidelines and rules like those of Dodd-Frank CCAR/DFAST. Banks face universal and country specific challenges arising from the implementation of these new regulations under multiple macroeconomic scenarios while supporting proper balance sheet, capital, and coverage ratios levels under normal and stressed conditions. A Bank’s modern liquidity management framework must encompass advanced modelling methods and techniques that are now critical for the optimization of decisions and processes that account for the full availability of data while considering the rules, product mixes, haircuts and underlying business performance and profitability models.

 

Banks want to effectively manage their liquidity needs and risks while continuously improving and balancing the integration of their immediate funding, contingency, and resolution plans. At the same time, Banks must carve out competitive advantage by aggressively managing the optimization of current and evolving ratios including the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), net stable funds ratio (NSFR), total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) ratio, and long-term debt (LTD) ratio. With increase size and complexity of holding companies (BHC and IHC), banks now need to include views and consideration of multifaceted effects on liquidity and credit of qualified financial contracts (QFC) and cross-default problems.
