Introduction
Asset and Liability Management (ALM) is a critical banking discipline that underpins financial stability, profitability, and regulatory compliance. In an environment of volatile interest rates, evolving regulations, and heightened supervisory scrutiny, banks must actively manage the interaction between assets, liabilities, capital, and liquidity. This Asset and Liability Management training course provides a practical and structured understanding of how ALM functions support sustainable banking performance. Participants explore how balance sheet risks arise, how liquidity and funding stability are assessed, and how interest rate risk—particularly in non-maturity deposits and capital—can be effectively managed. The course also examines lessons from recent banking failures, reinforcing the importance of disciplined ALM governance, robust stress testing, and clear risk appetite frameworks.
Key focus areas include:
- Core Asset and Liability Management principles in banking
- Liquidity, funding, and capital planning frameworks
- Interest rate risk management in the banking book
- Regulatory and supervisory expectations for ALM
