Program Objectives

Banks are institutions that accept deposits from the public, provide credit, and offer various financial services as permitted by their operating license.

Additionally, banks operate as businesses with the objective of maximizing shareholder wealth, making banking management fundamentally about profit-seeking and risk management.

The program offers a comprehensive overview of key frameworks and tools in contemporary banking, covering:

  • The transformational functions of banks (size transformation, maturity transformation, and risk transformation).
  • Asymmetric information, along with challenges such as adverse selection and moral hazard.
