Welcome to JWG

This comprehensive liquidity risk dummies’ guide from JWG provides a perspective from the ‘starting line’, when global regulators commenced their liquidity consultation processes.  It examines their rapid movement towards the new liquidity standards and the status of the initiatives from global, European, Asian, Australian and UK regulators.  

The UK’s liquidity standards, which have now been finalised through their PS09/16, have been methodically discussed at a high level and further broken down into six key requirements, each being individually analysed.  The requirements have further been mapped to each category of firm and the corresponding implementation timeline, examining what this will mean, and the impact on imperatives and business models for the firms.    

Finally, the report sets out a comprehensive list of questions covering the key points that firms need to consider in order to implement the liquidity standards.
