Moorad Choudhry Anthology - Past, Present and Future Principles of Banking and Finance + Website | Moorad Choudhry

One of the key lessons of the 2007-2008 financial market crash was that "traditional" principles of risk management in banking needed to be re-learnt, and maintained even during a bull market so that banks did not suffer as they did in the crash. These traditional principles were conservative beliefs about capital, funding and operating model guidelines that had served banks well since the city-state banks of the 16th century, but had been ignored by many small and large banks in the run-up to 2007. In the post-crash era, banks, regulators and investors have to "re-learn" these traditional principles so that they can apply them in their daily disciplines. This proposal is an answer to this new global policy response. Unlike more specialist fields such as quantitative finance, derivatives or structured finance, which perhaps 10%-20% of the world's banks need to acquire an expertise in, every single bank in the world has a Treasury department and needs to be up-to-speed on ALM.
