Course Overview

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book is a comprehensive professional training course designed to provide banking and financial professionals with the knowledge, analytical techniques, and practical skills required to identify, measure, monitor, and manage interest rate risk arising from traditional banking activities. As changes in interest rates significantly influence banks' earnings, economic value, funding costs, and balance sheet performance, effective management of Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) has become a strategic priority for financial institutions seeking long-term stability, regulatory compliance, and sustainable profitability. This course provides participants with a structured understanding of the principles, governance frameworks, and regulatory expectations associated with Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book. Participants will examine how fluctuations in interest rates affect assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet exposures, net interest income, and the economic value of equity. The program emphasizes the importance of integrating IRRBB into enterprise risk management, Asset and Liability Management (ALM), treasury operations, strategic planning, and capital management. The program also explores internationally recognized methodologies for measuring and controlling IRRBB, including repricing gap analysis, duration analysis, sensitivity analysis, Earnings at Risk (EaR), Economic Value of Equity (EVE), stress testing, scenario analysis, behavioral modeling, and balance sheet optimization. Participants will gain practical knowledge of governance structures, risk appetite frameworks, internal controls, model risk considerations, and regulatory reporting requirements associated with effective interest rate risk management. Through practical case studies, interactive workshops, and real-world banking scenarios, participants will strengthen their ability to assess interest rate exposures, evaluate balance sheet sensitivity, develop effective mitigation strategies, and support strategic decision-making. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to improve Asset and Liability Management, strengthen treasury performance, enhance regulatory compliance, and contribute to the financial resilience and long-term sustainability of banking institutions.
