War and Sanctions: What the Russia-Ukraine Conflict Means for Risk Managers

Drawing on the results of the recent GARP Risk Snapshots survey on this topic completed by over 500 global FRMs, Bill will guide the panel through a discussion touching on several key issues, including:

• Direct and indirect exposure prior to the invasion
