in a Protracted Low Rate, Highly Uncertain Environment
Tuesday, December 8, 2020 | 1:00 - 2:30 PM CT
Program Description
The “banking” industry has changed forever, and communities everywhere will have been reminded of the invaluable importance of their local banking institutions, especially during times of need. Balance sheets have been impacted notably on both sides and contain varying degrees of residual inherent uncertainties. Importantly, there will be very real implications for what constitutes prudent strategies for lending and funding (retail & wholesale), as well as overall balance sheet risk management (including interest rate risk, liquidity, and credit/capital management).
This session will look at important balance sheet risk management takeaways from the COVID-19 pandemic and impending recession, and discuss important strategies and considerations for moving your institution confidently and successfully forward.
