Program Description

A week-long in-person program that will act as a wonderful opportunity for supervisors to learn from Toronto Centre program leaders, as well as to network and learn from their international peers whilst studying the key concepts and practices of crisis preparedness.

Practice using processes of contingency planning and choosing among possible resolution options for dealing with failing financial institutions.

Participants will be able to:

  • Gain tools to assist in the surveillance of the financial sector and take necessary measures when alerted to an impending crisis
  • Practice using processes of contingency planning and choosing among possible resolution options for dealing with failing financial institutions
  • Coordinate with supervisors, central banks, deposit insurers and other authorities during a crisis, both nationally and internationally
  • Deal with the systemic consequences of failures of financial institutions

At the end of this program, participants will be able to examine the critical components of a crisis preparedness / contingency planning guide in the event of a financial crisis, in accordance with international best practices.

For any questions, please feel free to send an email to Eliza Solis-Maart, the program coordinator: esolis-maart@torontocentre.org
