Policy
Framework
Advisory.
In an increasingly complex and interconnected financial landscape, institutions face mounting pressure to anticipate and adapt to evolving regulation, systemic risk, and market stress. Our Policy Framework Advisory empowers banks, non-bank financial institutions, regulatory agencies, and institutional investors to design, embed, and operationalise robust policy architectures that safeguard stability while preserving innovation and competitiveness. We help clients map economic functions, calibrate toolkits, define reporting regimes, and align regulatory perimeter, all within a forward-looking, proportionate, and adaptable framework.
​
In today’s environment, financial institutions cannot simply operate and “wait” for regulations to catch up. They must anticipate stress, structural shifts, and regulatory arbitrage. By engaging our Policy Framework Advisory, clients gain a strategic advantage: a disciplined, resilient, and forward-looking architecture that translates economic functions into regulatory clarity, calibrates the optimal instrument mix, and embeds iterative oversight. Whether you're operating in a developed or emerging jurisdiction, our approach draws on global best practice—including Risk Advis guidance on shadow banking—and helps you stay ahead of systemic shocks, satisfy supervisory expectations, and fortify stakeholder trust.
Leverage, Liquidity,
Funding Risks
Policy frameworks must embed forward-looking provisioning, leverage caps or buffers, and stress-testing under adverse liquidity or funding scenarios.
Advisory
-
Identify systemic risk exposures early, using quantitative data and scenario modelling.
-
Design policies that mitigate risks—leverage, liquidity, interlinkages—while enabling legitimate business growth and innovation.
-
Build governance structures, reporting lines, board escalation, and management oversight to ensure effective implementation.
-
Leverage best practice from across sectors and jurisdictions, drawing on Risk Advis case studies, to avoid pitfalls such as regulatory arbitrage or reputational risk.
-
Ensure readiness for emerging regulatory expectations: more disclosure; more stress testing; tighter oversight of non-bank entities.
