After a prolonged period of zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) by central banks around the world, the period from Q1 2022 to Q2 2023 has seen the largest, fastest, and most widespread increase in interest rates since the 1980s, with 1-year euro yields rising by more than 400 bp. The recent market turmoil has exposed the increased vulnerability of banks, particularly those with significant exposures to long-term, fixed income assets, fueled by shorter-term, less stable funding. This challenging interest rate environment reinforces the strategic importance of asset-liability management (ALM) for banks. Indeed, a bank's survival now depends more than ever on prudent ALM. This book introduces the most common components of interest rate risk management within a bank's asset-liability management framework, including the concepts of economic value of equity (EVE), net interest income (NII), funds transfer pricing (FTP), and the replicating model. In addition to bridging the gap between widely used general interest rate risk management techniques in the fixed income area and what is best practice in European banks, the book also provides an update on recent changes in the regulatory framework for European banks' management of interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB), including new EBA guidelines. It also covers the latest developments in interest rate risk management, such as rapidly changing interest rates and modeling bank customers' behavior.“Risk management is not just a technique, it is an art. The book connects the dots between established theory, current practice, and emerging regulation. The reader becomes both an engineer and an artist of asset liability management.”¿Joachim Wuermeling, former Executive Board Member, Deutsche Bundesbank“This book skillfully combines established ALM principles with today’s regulatory changes. It provides clear, practical insights into managing interest rate risk, making it an essential resource for both experienced professionals and those new to bank risk management.”¿Pascal Vogt, Partner & Director, Boston Consulting Group

This book gives an in-depth and up-to-date insight into China's economy from a domestic as well an international perspective. The book covers the reform trajectory and performance of China's economy since Deng Xiaoping kicked-off the reform and opening-up policy in 1978 until the current challenges and economic policies under Xi Jinping including the integration in the world economy.The analysis is based on empirical evidence and respective data. This enables the reader to take an unprejudiced look on China's political economy. The book applies fundamental economic concepts in a non-technical way to the case of China and processes the main relevant scientific and applied research to the topic. Readers gain an in-depth understanding of the second largest global economy that will shape the twenty-first century-its past, present, and future.The book is structured into three concise chapters: the reform trajectory of China's economy since 1978, the domestic and international fundamentals of China's economy today, and the long-term challenges and respective economic policies for the future. One of the key insights of the book is that China's economy and its economic model are at a critical tipping point, after a long period of successful development from a low to a middle-income country. This includes the need for a new growth model and a renewed integration into the world economy. Both challenges pose systemic risks that could seriously impede the future development of China and its economy if not carefully managed.
