Treasury and Risk Management
The world’s financial markets have seen upheavals, crisis and downturn over the past 12 months. And the turmoil has far from completely abated.
And in the middle of this crisis is the Treasury division of most organisations – banks or non-banks. Managing the risks in a corporation’s business portfolio, analyzing and managing the currency and interest rate risks, structuring of derivative-based products and implementing market borrowing strategies are just some of the ever more crucial tasks that a Treasury department has to perform with ever increasing excellence – all these whilst keeping a keen eye hedging activities.
GP’s Treasury and Risk Management courses and workshops are designed and delivered by highly knowledgeable finance professionals who have also seen and experienced their fair share of crises and market turmoil. Their stories from the “battlefield” make the courses even more interesting, practical and insightful.
