Liquidity risk management: Experience shared is a lesson learned

The financial crisis showed that not nearly enough attention had been paid to liquidity risk management by either banks or supervisors. Extensive regulation has been proposed in response, but what will this mean for the financial sector? A group of liquidity risk vendors gathered in London in June to discuss some of the implications

This forum addresses the pressing issues facing liquidity risk management today. Featuring highly during the forum are the implications of local and global regulation on financial institutions and how to integrate liquidity risk management into an enterprise wide framework. Our panel addresses the cost implications of doing so and also looks at structural changes that would need to be made in order to avoid repeating the crisis of 2008.
