Strategies and Tools to Manage Structural Financial Risks in Complex Scenarios

This chapter meeting has passed.

Overview

Volatile economic conditions are testing the organizational resilience of financial entities in the Latin America region. Interest rates have remained unusually high in line with the inflation rate, market expectations, and central banks' policy decisions. Low growth coupled with high funding costs challenges the stability, profitability, and solvency indicators of some firms.

At this virtual meeting of the GARP Chapter Peru you can gain valuable insights on the lessons learned by renowned financial institutions and banking regulators from the region, led by their experts in balance sheet risk management. Hear their opinions and perspectives regarding the trend of solvency indicators and the factors that support the regulatory proposal to adopt the Net Stable Funding Ratio to manage structural liquidity risk and assure the medium-term funding stability of financial institutions.

Among the questions our speakers will answer are:

How have the strategies and tools for balance sheet risk management evolved within financial institutions in Latin America during these years of high interest rates, inflation, and volatility?
In this context, how have the banking supervisor's prudent approach and regulatory priorities impacted liquidity risk and insolvency risk?
What are the challenges that balance sheet risk managers face in their quest to balance the risk-return relationship, particularly in relation to solvency and liquidity risks?

This webcast will be held in Spanish.
