Treasury Management for Islamic banks
A Two-Part Online Training Program

Date:  15th & 16th June 2021

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

Treasury management in Islamic banks is challenging for several reasons. First, access to long term funding sources is limited, whilst raising the liquidity profile of assets as a response by keeping them short-dated creates an income drag. Second, even though Shariah compliant derivative structures are now more widely accepted, using them to lay off market risks is not well understood.

This online course is closely tailored to the needs of treasury management for Islamic banks, and is delivered within a consistent focus on practical responses to evolving scenarios that can threaten the survival of Islamic banks. The course covers the full array of contemporary treasury products available to Islamic banks and their effective use in the management of liquidity and market risks. These products include liquidity investment and funding products, and Shariah compliant derivatives used for hedging purposes.

The course will provide the opportunity for a high level of interactive discussion, analysis of case studies, and thorough instruction in techniques which can be applied in everyday use to meet treasury management needs.

  • Key Learning Outcomes:
    • Understand cash management, liquidity investment and funding for Islamic banks
    • Understand Shariah compliant derivatives and their application to risk management

EXPERT COURSE DIRECTOR


Dr Ken Baldwin 
Former Director, Financial Policies & Planning, Islamic Development Bank

Dr. Ken Baldwin has worked as a practitioner in banking and finance for over 25 years in senior positions spanning the front and middle offices. Having graduated from Oxford University with a first-class honors degree in Physics in 1989, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PWC, before joining UBS, and then later Credit Suisse, in derivatives risk and control functions based in London.

He gained a PhD in the microeconomic theory of risk sharing in Islamic contracts and worked in the GCC for 15 years in Islamic retail and Islamic investment banks. Whilst at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dr. Ken built an ALM analytic technology platform capable of capturing liquidity and interest rate risks inherent in the many varied Islamic financing products used at retail and corporate levels. He then moved to take up the position of MENA Regional Head of Quantitative Analysis for Citigroup. At Citicorp, Dr. Ken worked on structuring complex products used by Gulf-regional corporations to hedge FX and interest rate risks. Still residing in Bahrain, Dr. Ken then joined Investcorp, where he worked on the risk due diligence of corporate private equity and real estate private equity transactions and portfolio management. After leaving Investcorp, he set up the risk management department for venture capital bank, providing Basel III compliance and deal analysis for the bank. He then operationalized a new Islamic investment bank as its Chief Operating Officer for 3 years, before his most recent industry role at the Islamic Development Bank, where he set up and ran a new department tasked with developing Financial Policies and Planning underpinned by robust financial analytic tools and methodologies designed specifically for the IDB. Dr. Ken is currently an Assistant Professor of Finance in the UK. He has published quantitative finance articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Risk, and during his earlier career, taught CFA and FRM professional certifications as a pastime for the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance.
