Liquidity Risk in a Faster-Moving World

At Risk Evolve 2026, Brian Brown discusses how the events surrounding Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse have reshaped thinking around liquidity risk. While the industry has become more resilient since the Global Financial Crisis, technological advances and changing customer behaviour mean liquidity stress can now develop far more quickly than traditional frameworks anticipated.

The interview explores why banks must evolve beyond regulatory compliance to strengthen operational readiness, improve stress testing, and ensure liquidity can be mobilised rapidly when needed. Brian also shares his perspective on the future of liquidity risk management, highlighting the growing importance of digitalisation, real-time payments, and resilient balance sheet strategies in an increasingly fast-moving financial environment.
