Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book
What does the BCBS's revised standards mean for banks?
On April 21st, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) pulled back from their proposed Pillar 1 capital charge for interest rate risk in the banking book and recognized that the disparate nature of this particular risk is best reflected and managed under an enhanced Pillar 2 approach. The new rules mandate that banks are to follow a set of prescribed IRRBB Principles, which demand greater emphasis on the type of stress scenarios deemed applicable, clarity on the assumptions underpinning behavioural models that drive IRRBB and assurance that all IRRBB related models are governed by a robust model validation process. Furthermore, to obtain a semblance of comparability of IRRBB across jurisdictions, banks will be compelled to disclose, in much greater detail their IRRBB exposures and the impact to NII and EVE under a set of pre-defined shock scenarios.
To understand what this means for banks, we’ve gathered the industry’s leading lights to share their expertise in a 90 minute webinar. They discuss:
The enhanced Pillar 2 approach: What impact does this have on existing risk management frameworks, policies, procedures and IRRBB models?
How do banks prepare themselves to benefit from potential synergies of leveraging and integrating IRRBB requirements to other on-going initiatives such as RDARR, Regulatory Liquidity, and IFRS-9?
Implications of simultaneously managing IRRBB and Liquidity Risk – what are the alignment challenges
Steps to ensure further integration and improved coordination across the Treasury, Risk Management, Finance in order to meet expectations.
