The Pandemic: Where to Going Forward

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?

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• An obligation becoming more critical: keeping everybody safe
• Productivity with an online workforce
• The new landscapes of operational risk
• The data and models for credit risk in the new normal
• Re-starting with AI when more data are obsolete
• Risk appetite: is the old model still working?
• Reviewing the balance risk management/resilience/crisis management
• A few scenarios for the post-pandemic banking world
