Advanced Macroprudential Policy, Systemic Risk and Financial System Resilience.
The increasing interconnectedness of banks, financial markets, non-bank financial institutions and the broader economy has made financial stability a critical priority for central banks, financial regulators and policymakers. Financial crises can develop through the accumulation of vulnerabilities across the financial system, even where individual institutions may appear sound when assessed in isolation. This makes effective macroprudential policy, systemic-risk surveillance and financial-sector resilience essential components of modern financial-sector governance.
The Advanced Macroprudential Policy, Systemic Risk and Financial System Resilience programme is designed to provide central-bank and regulatory professionals with advanced knowledge and practical capabilities to identify, assess, monitor and mitigate systemic risks that could threaten financial and macroeconomic stability.
The programme examines the development and implementation of macroprudential policy frameworks, including the identification of systemic vulnerabilities, macro-financial surveillance, systemic-risk indicators, countercyclical policy measures and coordination between monetary, fiscal, microprudential and macroprudential authorities.
Particular emphasis will be placed on systemic-risk assessment, interconnectedness, financial-sector contagion, credit cycles, leverage, liquidity vulnerabilities, asset-price bubbles, concentration risks and risks arising from non-bank financial institutions. Participants will explore how these risks can be monitored using financial and economic data and transformed into actionable policy intelligence.
The programme will also address advanced tools for strengthening financial resilience, including stress testing, early-warning systems, scenario analysis, capital and liquidity buffers, countercyclical measures, systemic-risk dashboards and crisis-preparedness frameworks. Emerging risks such as climate-related financial risk, digital finance, fintech, cyber risk and interconnectedness between financial institutions will also be considered.
Through practical case studies, financial-stability scenarios, policy simulations and analytical exercises, participants will strengthen their ability to evaluate systemic vulnerabilities and formulate appropriate macroprudential responses.
Strategic value
The programme will support institutions in strengthening their capacity to:
- Develop and implement effective macroprudential policy frameworks.
- Identify emerging systemic risks before they become financial crises.
- Monitor financial-sector vulnerabilities and interconnectedness.
- Strengthen financial-stability surveillance and early-warning systems.
- Conduct systemic-risk and macro-financial stress testing.
- Assess the impact of monetary and prudential policies on financial stability.
- Strengthen coordination between financial regulators and government authorities.
- Improve crisis preparedness and financial-sector resilience.
- Develop evidence-based macroprudential interventions.
- Strengthen monitoring of emerging risks from fintech, digital finance and non-bank financial institutions.
Expected overall result
Participants will be better equipped to anticipate systemic vulnerabilities, translate financial and economic data into actionable risk intelligence, design appropriate macroprudential responses and strengthen the resilience of the financial system against financial shocks and emerging threats.
