Highlights:
-
Recent turmoil in the financial markets emphasizes the importance of effective
liquidity risk management to the safety and soundness of financial institutions.
-
The proposed Guidance clarifies the process that financial institutions should
follow to appropriately identify, measure, monitor and control funding and
liquidity risk, including effective corporate governance; provides an overview
of appropriate strategies, policies and procedures, which include risk limits
for managing and mitigating risks; and discusses the management of intraday
liquidity and collateral.
-
Institutions are expected to have in place appropriate measurement, monitoring
and reporting systems commensurate with the risk profile and business activities
of the institution. These systems should include provisions for stress testing
an institution's liquidity position under various adverse scenarios.
-
The Guidance emphasizes the importance of certain tools for sound liquidity and
funding risk monitoring and management, including cash-flow projections,
diversified funding sources, a cushion of liquid unencumbered assets, and a
well-developed, documented, and Board reviewed contingency funding plan.
-
Financial institutions should implement effective liquidity and funding
management internal controls and review procedures to monitor compliance with
supervisory directives, internal policies, and management reporting.
-
This proposed Guidance is intended to supplement existing guidance. FIL-84-2008, "Liquidity Risk
Management," issued by the FDIC in 2008, still remains in effect.
