The global financial landscape is continually shaped by economic volatility, regulatory reforms, and evolving risk dynamics. In this regard, financial institutions must adopt proactive strategies to enhance resilience and maintain stability.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) introduced the Basel Accords as a global regulatory framework to strengthen the soundness of banks. Each iteration of Basel (I, II, III, and now IV) has introduced more rigorous requirements for capital adequacy, liquidity, and risk management, underscoring the need for financial institutions to integrate these standards into their operations effectively.
The workshop addresses the critical need for financial institutions to maintain stability in the face of economic uncertainties. Stress testing and Basel risk-based assessments help organizations anticipate vulnerabilities and take preemptive measures to safeguard their operations.
Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Establish a foundational understanding of risk management and resilience-building
- Understand the purpose and methods of stress testing in risk assessment
- Â Apply Basel frameworks to assess risks effectively
- Link stress testing results to Basel-compliant risk-based assessments.
