In this episode of Liquidity Talks, Olaf Ransome and host Neville Roberts discuss the importance of banks taking liquidity seriously. They delve into the topic of metrics and the need for more up-to-date measures of liquidity health. Using the analogy of monitoring blood pressure, they highlight the limitations of current industry metrics and explore potential solutions. The episode also speculates on the future of smaller banks and startups in the face of increasing liquidity pressures and regulatory demands and emphasises the need for banks to manage liquidity in real-time rather than relying on historical reports.
