"...like safe roads, a safe financial system is in the interests of everyone involved. And, in the same way that safe roads carry a higher volume of traffic-both people in cars and cargo in trucks- a safe financial system will help generate higher stable economic growth".

Stephen G. Cecchetti, Economic Adviser and Head of Monetary and Economic Department, Bank of International Settlements, Basel- "The rules of the road making the financial system safe for everyone", Speech delivered at the CFA Institute, Paris, France, 03 November 2011.

In light of the above, you are required to submit a critical review summarizing the risk management and measurement issues as banks move into the era of Basel 3 in relation to the following:

  1. Interest Rate Risk
  2. Liquidity Risk
  3. Operational Risk

Further, based upon the case studies discussed within the seminars, pick one case study related to either: interest rate, liquidity or operational risk and write a reflective statement on the problems, the lessons learned and future direction needed to avoid the problems.

Presentation of work in the prescribed format, free from spelling and grammatical errors.
