Aligning Liquidity Risk Management and Profitability
While regulatory pressure on managing liquidity risks is valid, as the dark days of the global economic crisis would attest, the more pressing practical problem appears to be how to trade off between meeting liquid capital needs and ensuring profitability in a time of low margins. This forum is designed to discuss practical ideas for applying business models, techniques on an active liquidity position in a commercially viable manner, and discussing the limitations of regulatory requirements.

Stress Testing and Crises -What Did We Learn?
Based on findings from stress tests carried out during the crisis, we look at whether current stress testing models are now finally able to stimulate crises in a sufficiently realistic fashion. Can we construct severe yet plausible scenarios and how should regulators work with financial institutions on stress testing as a basis for decision making?

New Tools and Strategies to Strengthening the Balance Sheet & Economic Capital
As a result of the crisis, regulators are providing and enforcing new guidelines aimed, on one hand, at strengthening banks' liquidity buffer to cope against liquidity crisis, and at the same time at reinforcing the resilience of bank’s capital structure. This adds to the momentum towards a more integrated approach towards risk management and tying it into improving business processes and cost of capital. We will also review what regulators themselves have been learning as they calibrate the leading institutions in their jurisdiction.
