About This Event
“Test your hardest supervisory calls against peers who have to make them too.”
A two-day in-person seminar for heads of banking supervision and financial stability. It offers senior-level discussion of topical issues, from asset quality and macroprudential policy to crisis readiness and emerging risks, with case-based sessions designed around the decisions senior leaders face.
What You'll Explore
Peer perspectives on the hardest supervisory and stability decisions
A shared view of the vulnerabilities most likely to test supervisors
Practical lessons on macroprudential buffer activation and release
A clearer link between early intervention and resolution planning
Agreed priorities for leading your function through emerging risks
Who Should Attend
Open to all qualifying staff, particularly: Heads of Banking Supervision, Directors of Financial Stability, Deputy Governors, Heads of Resolution, Senior Advisers.
Why This Course Matters
Decisions, Not Theory
Sessions are built around real dilemmas senior leaders face, such as when to intervene or tighten buffers. Working through them with peers sharpens your judgement before the next real decision.
A Trusted Peer Network
Heads of supervision often face hard calls with few people to consult. Building trusted relationships across the region gives you counterparts to call when a cross-border issue arises.
Joined-Up Stability View
Supervisory and macroprudential decisions affect each other but are often made apart. Discussing them together helps you align micro and macro policy within your own institution.
Programme
Day 1 am
The stability outlook & emerging vulnerabilities
You will review the regional and global stability outlook with peers, identifying the vulnerabilities in credit, funding and sovereign exposures most likely to test supervisors in the year ahead.
Day 1 pm
Macroprudential policy & buffer decisions
You will work through a case on activating and releasing macroprudential tools, including the countercyclical capital buffer, and discuss how to communicate those decisions credibly.
Day 2 am
Early intervention & crisis readiness
You will examine when and how to intervene in a weakening bank, the link between supervision and resolution, and the crisis-management arrangements that determine how well you respond.
Day 2 pm
Leading supervision through emerging risks
You will discuss how to lead supervisory teams through climate, cyber and fintech risks, including skills, data and resources, and agree practical priorities to take back to your institution.
Standards & Faculty Benchmark
Basel Core Principles (BCP)
The global standard for supervisory powers, early intervention and corrective action.
Basel III framework
Capital and liquidity standards, including the countercyclical capital buffer.
FSB Key Attributes of Resolution Regimes
The FSB standard for resolution powers, planning and cross-border crisis cooperation.
NGFS scenarios & guidance
Climate scenarios and supervisory guidance shaping how leaders set climate priorities.
These are the frameworks your board, the IMF and your banks' home supervisors use to judge your decisions. Discussing hard cases against them helps you reach choices that are consistent, explainable and defensible when they are later reviewed.
