How to manage liquidity risk with Basel III

28-29 March 2012 - Hong Kong

Whilst Asia has weathered the financial crisis fairly unscathed, parts of new regulation is proving to be a problem in the region. Most Asian banks will not have a problem with new capital requirements but the big challenge will be if there is a lack of liquidity. Many asian banks are now particularly looking at liquidity risk. Australia, Hong Kong and China have all issued guidance and additional papers on liquidity requirements.

In addition, to the recent reform by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision aimed at improving the capital and liquidity positions of financial institutions, the HKMA issued, in April 2011, a supervisory guideline on "Sound Systems and Controls for Liquidity Risk Management" to provide more detailed guidance to the industry on how banks are expected to comply with the enhanced risk management standards set out in the 2008 BCBS Liquidity Sound Principles.

As Asia seems to be setting themselves a more advance adoption process, Asia Risk is delighted to present a two day focused training course aimed at providing examples and practical solutions for the improvement of liquidity risk management.
