Course Description
This course, presented by the Institute for Capacity Development, introduces participants to key concepts and tools used in the identification and assessment of financial sector vulnerabilities and sources of strength. The course materials provide a basic toolkit to assess financial sector risks and measure them against existing capital and liquidity buffers in the financial system. The discussions focus on the early identification of macro-financial imbalances and the analysis of the transmission of financial distress across institutions, markets, and economic sectors, with the objective of reducing the likelihood and the severity of financial crises.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Measure the main risks facing banks (e.g., credit, market, funding), from a systemic financial stability perspective.
- Design and perform basic stress tests of solvency and liquidity and interpret the results.
- Assess macro-financial linkages, along with potential amplification mechanisms.
- Track the buildup of systemic risk and vulnerabilities associated with credit, leverage, balance sheet mismatches, and interconnectedness.
