From the Back Cover

While the credit profile of a loan portfolio can take months or years to deteriorate, liquidity can disappear in just hours, which is why effectively managing liquidity risk takes a specialized body of knowledge and an up-to-date skillset. Now, Liquidity Risk Management gives bankers, asset managers, regulators, and academics in-depth access to subject matter specialists at the global professional services firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on several aspects of this critical component of financial risk management.

Each chapter is written by a partner or director in PwC's Financial Services Advisory practice with significant, hands-on expertise in liquidity risk management. Collectively, these highly focused, in-depth treatments create an essential reference that describes evolving industry practices and advanced approaches to liquidity risk management in the post-financial crisis environment.
