Liquidity Risk Management

Overview

This eCourse consists of three modules on liquidity risk management. Module 1 examines why liquidity issues such as those experienced during the crisis can arise, and how both regulators and banks have changed their approach to assessing and managing liquidity risk since the crisis. The tutorial also introduces the concept of ALM and outlines how liquidity risk is managed as part of a bank’s overall ALM strategy.

Module 2 focuses on some of the strategies that banks use to minimize liquidity risk and ensure they have adequate sources of funding in stress situations.

Module 3 describes many of the tools and techniques that are used to assess, measure, and monitor liquidity risk, including liquidity gap analysis, cash flow forecasting, and ratios such as the loan/deposit ratio, Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).
