Welcome to Day 1 of the Industry Portal liquidity management course — your starting point for understanding one of the most critical risks in banking.
In this session, we introduce the core concept of liquidity risk and explain why it sits at the centre of financial stability. While banks may appear profitable and well capitalised, without sufficient liquidity they can fail quickly — sometimes within days.
You will learn what liquidity really means in a banking context, how it differs from solvency, and why the ability to meet cash obligations on time is essential for survival. We break down how banks fund themselves, how deposits and wholesale funding behave, and why confidence plays such a powerful role in determining whether a bank remains stable.
The video also introduces the key building blocks of liquidity management, including cash flow timing, funding structures, liquidity buffers, and the role of Treasury in maintaining day to day resilience.
We connect these concepts to real world scenarios, showing how liquidity pressures can build and why managing them requires both strong frameworks and constant monitoring.
By the end of this session, you will have a clear, practical understanding of liquidity risk and why it is one of the most important disciplines in modern banking.
