The Pandemic: Where to Going Forward

In these unprecedented times, when former certainties are no longer so, it is key to keep the levels and standards of operations, and so is the priority. But any weakness in risk management is likely to come back during the recovery phase, if not even before.

Why Should You Attend:

During the pandemic, firefighting may not be the only priority of financial institutions. The competitive cards are being reshuffled. The banks that can already prepare for the ‘next normal’ will benefit from the expected recovery time, albeit in an economy that will be more debt-ridden than before.

Learning Objectives:

A pivot point is to be found between the occurrence of the crisis and the next normal situation. The shake-up of operations has brought productivity down in some areas, but the key is to grasp what aspects are reversible and which ones need a rethink, in operations management as well as in risk management.

We will consider:

In these exceptional times, why should regulatory authorities still consider risk compliance a priority?

How can banks keep and improve their resilience in these unstable times?

Which going-online measures will stick, which will not? What consequences for risk management?

Have stress-test frameworks failed again?

Will banks have to dramatically restructure their credit portfolios, when the mapping of performing industries has radically changed?
