Liquidity Management (eBook)

Robust management of liquidity risk within the changing
regulatory framework

Liquidity Management applies current risk management
theory, techniques, and processes to liquidity risk control and
management to help organizations prepare in case of future economic
crisis and changing regulatory framework. Based on extensive
research conducted on banks' datasets, this book addresses the
practical challenges and critical issues that frequently go
unmentioned, and discusses the recent impact of sovereign crises on
banks' liquidity processes and approaches. Market practices and
regulatory stances are reviewed and compared to bank treasuries'
response to liquidity crunches, refinancing risks are explored in
the context of Basel 3, and alternative funding is analyzed in
terms of resilience and allocation. Coverage includes the recent
crisis, new regulations, and the techniques, processes, and
strategies banks use in managing liquidity risk.

The 2008 and 2010 crises brought liquidity risk out of the
shadows as even profitable and well-capitalized banks were swept
away with breathtaking speed. This book reviews modeling and
internal process design in the context of the structural change in
market conditions on banks' refinancing and control requirements,
helping readers rethink and re-design their organization's approach
to liquidity risk.
