The Need to Manage Liquidity Risk
Before the global economic crisis of 2008, financial institutions used to follow
liberal liquidity management policies. The exact picture came into notice when
banks struggled to maintain adequate liquidity during the crisis, resulting in
bankruptcy and failure of top banks of the world. The recession scenario changed
the outlook for the better. Banks and central banks understood the need for
stringent regulations and the most acceptable ways of managing liquidity risk.
