BPNG Takes Proactive Approach to Risk Management

Prudential Standard on Asset Quality

Market Risk Management Framework
The Bank has also implemented a market risk management framework that outlines policies and processes for measuring, monitoring, managing liquidity, interest rate, foreign exchange, and equity risks.
Challenges in Risk Regulation and Compliance
