INTRODUCTION

Asset and Liability Management (ALM) training courses in banking equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to balance assets and liabilities, optimize liquidity, and manage financial risks effectively. Through these specialized ALM training courses, banking professionals learn to navigate regulatory requirements, control interest rate exposures, and strengthen balance sheet resilience—vital competencies in today’s evolving financial landscape.
