The agencies have been very active and engaged in recent months working closely with banks and fintech providers while issuing RFIs and other releases to gain more insight from industry participants on important issues such as artificial intelligence and digital assets. Join the chief innovation officers’ panel for a dynamic discussion on the latest regulatory initiatives and policies around innovation.

Establishing a strategy prepares your institution to tactically execute when the market presents opportunities. This session will cover understanding and using derivatives, measuring and allocating excess liquidity, deleverage considerations, capital planning, and opportunities on the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet. Prepare your institution and learn to value the right things for 2022.
