Post the global financial crisis, the role of the Treasury within a bank is more challenging than ever. The regulation that followed the crisis, in particular Basel III, has meant that optimizing assets and liabilities is vital in mitigating the ‘hit’ on Return on Equity that the regulation represents. This workshop looks to explain the fundamental role of the ALM function and, via real-life case studies and excel based simulations, explain how the function looks to optimize balance sheet performance via the more selective deployment of balance sheet resources. In addition, it will explore the fluid regulatory landscape in which ALM is functioning and outline what the industry considers as best practice in terms of dealing with the challenges that the landscape presents. Hence by attending the day workshop, delegates will be better equipped to work in or with the ALM function and support the optimization of the balance sheet they are tasked to achieve.

Corporates around the world, especially in Europe and the US, face a number of difficulties that make their working environment more difficult than it was during the financial crisis of 2008–2009. Lenders and investors are once again confronted with widespread and severe credit deterioration across sovereigns, corporates, and other sectors as a result of the difficulties of COVID-19. Credit analysis is becoming more difficult due to a confluence of factors including high cost inflation, significantly higher energy prices, higher and rising interest rates, political unpredictability, worsening geopolitical threats, and declining consumer demand. The degree of ambiguity and upheaval appears destined to stay high for some time. In order to prevent credit losses and generate an optimal risk/reward profile from their exposures, it is even more crucial for creditors and investors to have a solid understanding of how to analyze a variety of credit risks.
The fastest-growing segment of Islamic finance is sukuk. It makes wholesale financing accessible and serves as the framework for the growth of Islamic financial markets. The majority of the issuances up to this point have imitated bond arrangements that ultimately rely on a government credit.

The purpose of this workshop is to acquaint persons working in Islamic and conventional finance with the fundamental ideas, organizational frameworks, and processes, as well as the real-world transactional challenges associated with the application of Sukuk in contemporary Islamic banking. Additionally, it will describe the Ijara, Musharaka, Mudaraba, Murabaha, and other underlying structures of Sukuk.
