The spread of COVID-19 has caused panic in financial and commodity markets on an unprecedented scale with GDP and fiscal impacts not seen outside of world wars.
The impact on risk management has been profound. Modelling assumptions have been found wanting. Risk IT and operational processes have been put under stresses unimaginable only a few months ago.
Working with our partners Numerix and PRMIA, we are delighted to invite you to join a virtual round table discussion on the topic of “Risk Management Post COVID- 19 – Lessons Learned…so far…”.
We are inviting guest speakers to join our panel session which will be moderated by Karl Sees, CubeLogic Managing Director.
