Quick off the mark, regulators have made strengthening liquidity and supervision their top priorities.

How are banks preparing for the changes ahead? Come and listen to leading practitioners share war stories, liquidity risk management best practices and how they are adapting to the changing regulatory environment.

Key issues include:

• Reassessment of funding models
• Reducing reliance on the interbank market – what are the alternatives?
• Views on Basel III and other regulations – too much, too soon?
• Impact of regulations on low-risk banks
• How will the new regulations be adopted by local jurisdictions?
• Continuation of the home-host debate: a balancing act
• Should banks adopt a centralised or decentralised approach to funding and liquidity management and what are the challenges for treasurers?
• Practical scenarios for liquidity stress testing
