Front-to-Back Liquidity: Building Resilience Across the Lines

As the global financial landscape navigates shifting interest rate cycles and digital-speed deposit migrations, the relationship between a firm's front office and risk oversight has never been more critical. Traditional liquidity playbooks are being rewritten by intraday volatility and the rise of private credit.

Join GARP New York for an incisive evening of debate and insight. We will host a panel of leaders from both the 1st and 2nd lines of defense to discuss how they are moving beyond "check-the-box" compliance to build a proactive, integrated liquidity strategy. Our speakers will explore the friction points and the synergies between maximizing balance sheet efficiency and maintaining a fortress-like risk profile.

Key Discussion Topics

• The Velocity of Liquidity: Analyzing how 24/7 digital banking and social-media-driven "flash runs" have shrunk the response window for both Treasury and Risk teams.
• Stress Testing 2.0: Moving beyond regulatory baselines to develop bespoke, "reverse stress tests" that account for the interconnectedness of market, credit, and liquidity risk.
• 1st vs. 2nd Line Collaboration: Strategies for harmonizing liquidity transfer pricing (FTP) and risk appetite frameworks to ensure the front office is incentivized for safety as well as profit.
• Collateral Optimization in a Tight Market: How firms are leveraging technology to manage high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) across fragmented global jurisdictions and private market exposures.
• The AI Impact: Discussing the practical use of machine learning in predicting cash flow patterns and automating intraday liquidity monitoring.

Following the panel discussion, please join us for networking reception.
