Liquidity Risk Measurement and Management

About the Book

Villains for the Great Meltdown of 2007-2008 seem plentiful. But the very concept of finding and punishing villains misses the target. Ideally, we learn from past failures. We perfect our craft. Lessons to be learned from the Great Meltdown are not just plentiful – they are also insightful. In LIQUIDITY RISK MEASUREMENT AND MANAGENT -- BASEL III AND BEYOND, Mr. Matz provides detailed, practical analysis and recommendations covering every aspect of liquidity risk measurement and management. • Examples of what went wrong are used extensively. • Best practices procedures are explained. • New regulatory guidance – both qualitative and quantitative, including Basel III – is discussed in detail. • Source material and examples from many countries are included. This is the “how to guide” for liquidity risk managers in financial institutions around the globe.
