Implementation of the FRTB in Commercial Banks: Models, Incentives and Challenges

This chapter meeting has passed.

Overview

Registration for this event is now closed.

The Bank for International Settlements Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) methodology, disclosed in 2015, was a milestone in capital requirement calculations as it introduced a radical change for the banking sector. Since then, banks have worked towards the transition and by January 2025 have the option to implement an Internal Model (IM) method or the Standardized Approach (SA) for modeling market risk capital requirements.

Join the GARP Madrid Chapter to network with colleagues and discuss:

Background on market risk regulation and capital requirements.
FRTB IM vs. SA approach: Calculation and challenges.
Trade-offs (incentives/disincentives) in selecting each approach.
Industry views in Spain and across Europe.
