This paper discusses risk management for banks and regulators, and the paper then also examines interest rate risk. The paper begins by providing background information on interest rate risk, and follows with a discussion regarding the measurement of interest rate risk. The repricing and interest gap is assessed, along with Value at Risk (VAR) and stress testing. The way in which interest rate risk can be managed is assessed, and this section looks at methods like forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps, and cash flow matching. Regulatory frameworks and their application to banking institutions are discussed, and conclusions are made regarding recommendations to avoid another financial crisis.
