FRTB Implementation in APAC: Practical Solutions for Outstanding Compliance Challenges

Subscribe to our newsletter

Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) regulation is back, with proposals from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) for a new market risk-related capital requirement for banks due to be implemented across APAC over the next few years. Singapore and Japan have set implementation deadlines in 2024, while Australia has pushed out go-live to 2026.

Find out more about FRTB in APAC by registering for A-Team Group’s 25 May 2023 webinar – that’s this Thursday – covering FRTB Implementation in APAC: An industry update and what is left to do.

The webinar will provide an industry update on FRTB across APAC jurisdictions, highlight priorities for compliance, and identify the toughest outstanding challenges (perhaps the internal model approach?), as well as some best practice responses. The discussion will also touch on lessons learnt from other regional implementations, helpful RegTech solutions for compliance, and practical guidance on how to get FRTB right at your organisation.

Join me, Sarah Underwood, an editor at A-Team Group, to find out more about FRTB across APAC from our expert speakers on the region and the regulation: Gaël Robert, head of global risk analytics at Mizuho; Vishal Kapoor, sector team lead and IBG business lead, group research, executive director at DBS Bank; Dr. Xiao Xiao, head of derivatives and regulation APAC at ICE Data Services; and Fausto Marseglia, head of product management, FRTB and regulatory at Refinitiv, an LSEG business
