Market Risk, FX Risk, IRR, Stress Testing & Liquidity Strategy in Emerging Markets
From Exposure to Resilience – Build a Future-Ready Risk Strategy.
Course Overview
Emerging markets are defined by a combination of currency volatility, constrained liquidity, and macro-financial instability, making risk management a critical function across Treasury, Finance, and Executive teams. This intensive masterclass is designed to help banking professionals understand and respond to the challenges of managing Market Risk, FX Risk, Interest Rate Risk (IRR), Liquidity, and Stress Testing in rapidly evolving environments.
Participants will gain a strategic and operational understanding of how to measure and manage risk exposures, build credible stress testing scenarios, and align liquidity strategies with business priorities and regulatory expectations. The content reflects the realities of banks operating in dollarized or semi-dollarized systems, limited access to long-term funding, and growing regulatory scrutiny.
This session will build clarity, alignment, and stronger risk culture across functions, empowering leaders to drive resilience and forward-looking balance sheet strategies.
