The central bank on Sunday launched a special training programme on liquidity risks management and improvement in financial reporting for mid-level executives of all the banks. 

Executives of 48 banks took part in the three-day training programme. "The objective of the training is to improve the banks' capacity to evade liquidity crisis," S K Sur Chowdhury, executive director of Bangladesh Bank (BB), told reporters after inauguration of the training.

Chowdhury hoped that the training would help the bank executives to prepare net stable funding ratio, liquidity coverage ratio, structural liquidity profile and appropriate financial reports on performance of the respective bank.

He said the training module includes orientation on financial reporting and appropriate tools for liquidity risk management as per BASEL III requirements. He said the central bank has planned to implement BASEL III from the coming year as almost all banks have put into practice the BASEL II.
