For some time, liquidity risk has been treated as a second-order or consequential risk, in the sense that liquidity issues only arise from problems in other primary risk areas where the risks are not well controlled and managed - such as market, credit or operational risk. With the materialization of the credit crisis, it has become evident that liquidity risk must be measured and managed as an independent risk. This paper will discuss liquidity risk and how SAS Risk Management for Banking gives institutions the ability to address liquidity risk right now, as well as the ability to evolve as needs change over time.
