Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book

This course covers the main techniques used to measure interest rate risk in the banking book and how (and why) these differ from those used to measure similar risks in a trading book. The programme will be made up of four discrete modules, each lasting half a day, delivered online via Zoom in small classes.

Paul Newson, industry expert, with over twenty years experience as an IRRBB practitioner and author of “Risk Books: Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book“, will be lead tutor for all of these training modules.
