Why attend

The banking industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by evolving market dynamics and regulatory changes, such as Generative AI, ESG, ISO 20022, and CVA. In this context, optimizing treasury operations has become imperative for banks to remain competitive and compliant.

This webinar will discuss how banks can leverage the opportunities arising from these market and regulatory changes, and how they can manage their liquidity reserves effectively to meet regulatory standards and market expectations, while reducing the cost of holding excess liquidity.

The adoption of ISO 20022 offers banks an opportunity to streamline their payment and settlement processes. Banks can leverage ISO 20022 to enhance cross-border transactions, reduce operational risks, and improve the efficiency of their treasury operations. Our panel of experts will explore best practices on becoming agile for new market dynamics. With the implementation of FRTB and CVA, banks face stricter capital requirements and face more rigorous risk management standards. To optimize their treasury in this environment, banks should consider advanced risk analytics and AI capabilities. By leveraging technology, AI and data analytics treasurers can better assess and manage risk, and optimize hedging and trading strategies for their own and customer portfolio for the volatile interest rate and inflation rate market.

To navigate the shifting landscape of new market dynamics and regulations, optimizing treasury operations with an agile architecture becomes paramount. By embracing modern technology for risk analytics and adopting managed services, Treasury leaders can thrive in this changing environment, achieving both compliance and competitive advantage.

What gets me up every morning is the prospect of venturing into unchartered territory. I enjoy seeing things in motion, and would love to be in company with similar minded people. I especially love the moments when we ask ourselves the question: ‘How am I going to solve this?’ ; for those are often the moments where many opportunities present themselves.

In no particular order, some of the things I have tinkered around over the years are:
- Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) participation & secretariat
- International banking experience in Thailand & Cambodia (2 years)
- Senior management engagement (C-Suite)
- Capital and balance sheet management (CBSM)
- Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP)
- Risk Weighted Assets (RWA)
- Interest rate risk & liquidity risk management (incl LCR, NSFR, IRRBB)
- Financial budgeting, projections, profitability and ROE optimization
