Nadeem Shamim Global Head of Cash and Liquidity Management at SmartStream Technologies Limited -
It’s been a topic of discussion lately whether banks are conducting adequate stress tests on their liquidity, particularly when it comes to intraday liquidity.

At the very end of February, the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) announced a new consultation paper: CP5/23 – Remuneration: Enhancing proportion...
