Priority sector guidelines were established and have been regularly revised by the Reserve Bank of India to strengthen inclusive lending and development.
ALM (Asset Liability Management) involves strategic balance sheet management and managing risks stemming from mismatches between assets and liabilities. It aims to manage liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and profitability. The key risks banks face include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and foreign exchange risk. ALM involves analyzing the composition and maturity profiles of assets and liabilities to control volatility in net interest income and ensure sufficient liquidity. Banks use tools like gap analysis and simulation to measure risks and make decisions around portfolio composition.
1) Asset/liability management (ALM) is the process of making decisions about the composition of a bank's assets and liabilities in order to manage risks and ensure sustainable profits.
2) ALM decisions are typically made by a bank's asset/liability management committee (ALCO) and involve strategic balance sheet management to match assets and liabilities.
3) The goal of ALM is to manage sources and uses of funds with respect to interest rate risk and liquidity risk arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities.
The document categorizes knowledge and skills to help with designing learning events. It defines knowledge as information stored like facts, ideas, and procedures. Skill is defined as organized patterns of activity, either mental or physical. There are four categories of knowledge: facts, procedures, concepts, and principles. Facts can be remembered, procedures describe how to do something, concepts are classes of items, and principles explain or predict events. Skills are divided into thinking, acting, reacting, and interacting. Productive skills are innovative while reproductive skills are repetitive. Understanding these categories allows for different training strategies like memorization for facts or explanation and examples for principles.
