CBS-6 Treasury and Capital Markets Operations

These activities manage the institution’s liquidity, funding, trading, and investment portfolios across money markets, foreign exchange, securities, and derivatives.

The service ensures stable access to funding, prudent liquidity risk management, and the effective execution and settlement of financial market transactions.

Given the systemic importance of treasury functions and their interdependencies with payment systems, market infrastructures, brokers, custodians, and regulators, operational resilience in these services is essential to safeguarding Metrobank’s financial stability, reputation, and compliance posture.

Each function maintains direct links to external financial infrastructure and counterparties, underscoring the need for robust resilience frameworks, stress-tested procedures, and tightly controlled risk-management mechanisms.
