The online training course on "Modeling Systemic Risk in the Banking Sector" organized by the Training and Capacity Building Institute of the Arab Monetary Fund in cooperation with the Central Bank of England opened today, during the period 14-24 September 2020.
Financial stability is one of the major concerns of central banks and monetary institutions, and since systemic risks are one of the major issues that affect financial stability, which lies at the point of interconnection between the financial system and the real sector, this calls for great care and proactive measures to prevent crises and mitigate their effects If they happen.
The volume of interest in systemic risks has increased significantly after the global financial crisis, which proved that stability at the individual level of each institution of the banking system is not sufficient to achieve financial stability due to the presence of so-called risks at the level of the financial system as a whole, which requires identifying these risks and then measuring them and applying them. Precautionary policies and control measures at the macro level to ensure control of these risks and motivate financial institutions to enhance their durability in order to enable them to absorb the implications of these risks, which contributes to reducing their effects and enhancing the ability of the banking and financial sector to face them. With the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, which is also considered a systemic risk due to its impact that includes all economic sectors without exception, there is an urgent need for the supervisory and supervisory authorities in our Arab countries to be familiar with the methods of dealing with systemic risks.
On this occasion, in the speech of His Excellency Dr. Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah Al Hamidi, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Arab Monetary Fund: the full text of the speech
