Liquidity Risk for Banks & Financial Institutions

Liquidity risk is one of the most important—and misunderstood—risks in modern banking. A bank can be perfectly solvent on paper yet fail within hours if it runs out of cash. Recent events, including the rapid collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, have shown how quickly liquidity pressure can escalate into a full crisis.

This course gives you a clear, practical, and beginner-friendly introduction to liquidity risk management. You will learn how to identify liquidity risk, map inflows and outflows, build and interpret maturity ladders, and calculate the most important liquidity ratios.

You will learn how to run simple but meaningful liquidity stress tests and understand survival horizons—essential tools for detecting liquidity pressure early. The course includes a realistic case study of the Silicon Valley Bank failure, showing how interest-rate risk, behavioral reactions, and a concentrated depositor base combined into a rapid liquidity crisis.

This course is ideal for beginners in Risk Management, Treasury, Finance, Compliance, and Audit, as well as analysts, consultants, and executives who want a clear overview of liquidity risk without heavy math or quantitative modeling.

By the end of the course, you will be able to measure, assess, and stress-test liquidity risk like a professional risk manager—and confidently apply these tools inside banks and financial institutions.
