After years of near-zero interest rates, the recent return of material inflation combined with significant rate hikes has once again put interest rate risk back into the spotlight - with respect to its effect on both valuations and future interest income.
At the same time the EBA and CSSF are continuing to increase their attention to interest rate risk and credit spread risk in the banking book, while interest rate risk in the trading book is materially impacted by the transition to Basel IV.
