Course Overview
Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of interest and exchange rate risk. Growth built on poorly controlled rate risk reverses faster than it accumulated. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this aspect of financial and banking practice are used deliberately. The professional literature on interest and exchange rate risk converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this part of financial and banking practice before they become incidents. Participants test their assumptions about rate risk against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It concentrates on the parts of interest and exchange rate risk that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The version of rate risk described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the financial and banking practice discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
