The recent white paper survey, "Key RIsk Management Challenges for 2013/14" by SUNGARD Capital Markets of risk priorities globally has yielding some interesting insights:
- US banking institutions identified enterprise-wide stress testing as the top risk management priority
- Global banking institutions – i.e., those outside the US identified liquidity risk management as the top risk management priority
- Bankers tended to worry most about challenges such as regulatory pressure, economic uncertainty, and achieving profitable growth
- Responses of US banking institutions to the question “Has your organization completed an enterprise-wide stress testing program within the past 12 months” varied clearly according to asset size:
- All surveyed banking institutions $10Bn-$50Bn have either completed a stress test already or currently have plans or funds to do so in the next 12 months.
- All surveyed banking institutions >$50Bn have completed a stress test.
The top four C-Suite risk management priorities were:
- enterprise-wide stress testing
- liquidity risk management
- regulatory capital adequacy
- and risk appetite
