Navigating Risk, Liquidity, and Decision-Making in a Volatile Environment
An Executive Roundtable for Hong Kong Banking Leaders
June 16 , 2026 | 11:30AM - 2PM
The Murray, Hong Kong
Geopolitical uncertainty is no longer a remote macro risk. It is increasingly becoming a direct balance sheet concern for banks.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions, energy price volatility, inflation uncertainty, changing interest rate expectations and potential funding market stress are creating a more complex operating environment for Hong Kong banks. The IMF has highlighted elevated global financial stability risks, including the possibility that market volatility, tighter financial conditions and amplification channels could test the resilience of financial institutions. The HKMA has also identified credit, liquidity and market risks as areas of continued supervisory focus, with particular attention on asset quality, vulnerable accounts, market risk management and severe liquidity shock scenarios.
For CROs and senior banking leaders, the key challenge is no longer simply identifying individual risks. It is understanding how quickly risks can become interconnected across credit portfolios, liquidity positions, funding costs, market exposures, capital planning and management actions.
This closed-door roundtable, co-hosted by EY, SAS and Risk.net, will bring together senior banking practitioners to discuss how institutions are strengthening risk visibility, planning discipline and cross functional alignment across risk, finance and treasury.
The discussion will focus on how banks can move from fragmented risk views to more integrated balance sheet decision making, enabling leadership teams to respond with greater speed, confidence and consistency in a more volatile market environment.
Chatham House Rule will apply.
