Treasury Management and Money Markets Training Course

Treasury management is central to a bank's financial stability, liquidity and profitability. This programme provides a comprehensive understanding of treasury operations, covering money markets, interbank lending, foreign exchange, funding and liquidity management, interest rate risk and treasury governance. Participants gain the practical knowledge to support treasury decision-making, optimise balance sheet management and operate confidently within today's financial markets.

Treasury sits at the point where a bank meets the market every single day, managing the cash, funding and market exposures that the rest of the institution creates without necessarily seeing. When treasury gets it right, almost nobody notices. When it gets it wrong, funding dries up, currency losses mount, and a bank can move from comfortable to distressed within days. It is one of the most consequential functions in a bank and one of the least understood outside it.

This course builds a working command of treasury and the money markets it operates within, grounded in the realities of African interbank, foreign exchange and government securities markets. It covers the treasury function and its objectives, money market instruments and the interbank market, foreign exchange operations and risk, funding and liquidity management, and the governance and controls that keep treasury within its mandate. Participants leave able to understand and contribute to treasury decisions, manage funding and liquidity with discipline, and read money and foreign exchange markets with confidence.
