One of key foundations of the transformation is a fully inhouse developed platform ("T-Strats") which provides the bank with liquidity scenario modelling capabilities. Scenarios generated on the platform are used as a base for balance sheet optimization, Recovery and Resolution submissions and in daily internal risk reporting. The future journey for the platform is an exciting one that will advance its capabilities to cover key risk indicators forecasts and enrich modelling functionalities allowing users to customize and undertake ad-hoc scenario modelling. The tool will be critical to support Treasury and our business partners to actively manage structural metrics (e.g. NSFR) and optimize balance sheet funding that ultimately shape decision at senior committees.
