  Shoring up the banking system to withstand future shocks
  • A look back at the crisis: where was capital needed most, and where was it held?
  • Self-improvement: what the banking sector is doing to put its own house in order.
  • Regulatory discipline: what regulators should be doing to strengthen stability in the banking system.
  • Enhancing stability by removing incentives for arbitrage.
  Jörg Erlebach, Managing Director and Divisional Board Member, Global Credit and Capital Risk Management, Commerzbank

  Coherent stress testing for banks - regulatory requirements and practical implementation
  •   Regulatory requirements: what is good enough?
  • Credit risk stress testing: capitalising on the Basel II models.
  • Operational risk stress testing: a rogue trader scenario.
  • Market risk stress testing: it’s all about risk factors.
  • Liquidity risk stress testing: funding costs in focus

Asset management and the new world of advertising

  • How can potential risks be managed?
  • What are the regulators’ expectations for compliant social media marketing practices?
  Dr Claudine Perlet, Head of Compliance and Senior Regulatory Counsel, Allianz Global Investors
 

10:00
  The post-Basel III environment: challenges ahead for firms and supervisors
  • Basel III will be implemented in a staggered way, with 2018 as the final year. Should we bother so early about it?
  • The answer is yes, both for firms and supervisors: precisely because full Basel III implementation is still some years away we have a golden opportunity to get ready for it.
  • For supervisors:
    • Ensure that Basel III is implemented in a consistent manner worldwide: from rule-making to coordination in implementation.
    • Improve supervision, specially for SIFIs (systemically important financial institutions).
    • Role of different forums: FSB; BCBS; SIG.
  • For firms:
    • Risk management is key (continuity from Basel II); the role of CROs.
    • But profitability is crucial: good risk management without profitable business strategy takes you nowhere!
    • Divergence between economic capital and regulatory capital.
    • The practical impact of macro-prudential considerations: when the merit of your bank may not be enough to save you from restrictions.
  Jose Maria Roldán, Chairman, Standards Implementation Group, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and Director General, Banking Regulation, Bank of Spain
 

10:20
  Panel Session: Risk governance and the rise of the CRO
  • Do the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and senior risk managers in financial services organisation now have enough power and authority?
  • Enhancing corporate governance practices in banks and other financial institutions: mandatory and self-regulatory measures to define the role of the supervisory board and the management board, especially in relation to improved risk governance, approving and overseeing the organisation’s risk strategy, and understanding the roles of the CRO and other senior risk executives.
  • The CRO’s over-arching role – to head up an independent and authoritative risk management function with direct access to the boards.
  • The CRO’s specific duties – to identify and manage risks in individual entities, and across the enterprise, using appropriate systems and controls.
