FRTB - A Market Risk Odyssey

FRTB - A Market Risk Odyssey
As a consequence of Covid-19, the start of the new regime has been pushed back to 2022, with final implementation now set for 2023 along with the rest of Basel III. Rather than a delay, this extension should be viewed as an opportunity to allow for a more strategic implementation as firms need to balance long-and short-term priorities. During this virtual event organized by the PRMIA Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf Chapters, join your peers and experts from regulatory bodies, leading technology vendors and consultancies for the latest updates on implementation progress so far in the broader context of recent increased market volatility, as well as remaining challenges in the final stretch to compliance.
