Liquidity Risk Management

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Bank Negara Malaysia issued its Liquidity Risk Policy Document (PD) in October 2024, setting out clear requirements and guidance for managing liquidity risk effectively, given that financial institutions (FIs) are inherently vulnerable to liquidity risk due to their primary role in transforming short-term deposits into long-term loans or financing. The policy emphasises the need for comprehensive liquidity exposure assessments and the implementation of appropriate strategies, buffers, and governance structures to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. As liquidity risk continues to attract increasing regulatory and institutional scrutiny, FIs must adopt robust oversight, proactive planning, and data-driven risk assessments.

This webinar is designed to help participants understand and apply the PD’s core principles, strengthening organisational resilience and ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations and best practices. The programme will explore the practical implementation of liquidity risk frameworks, including stress testing techniques and contingency funding plans (CFPs). A focused case study will delve into the impact of liquidity risk on investment banking products, such as share margin financing and advisory services, demonstrating how liquidity costs and risks are integrated into product pricing and performance metrics. In addition, the session will cover key regulatory expectations on CFPs, the importance of regular testing and updates, effective collateral management practices, and the disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative liquidity information.
