Managing Systemic Risk in Digital Payments and Financial Market Infrastructures
This course builds practical skills in managing systemic risk across payment systems and market infrastructures, covering contagion channels, the PFMI principles, settlement risk, operational and cyber resilience, digital payment risk and oversight frameworks. Participants learn to design controls that protect financial stability.
Introduction
Managing Systemic Risk in Digital Payments and Financial Market Infrastructures Training Course prepares central bank, regulator, bank and infrastructure professionals to identify and control risk that spreads across payment systems and market infrastructures. Participants learn how payment systems, clearing houses, settlement systems and digital payment platforms interconnect, and how a failure in one node can reach the wider financial system. The programme covers the PFMI principles, operational resilience, cyber risk, liquidity and credit risk in settlement, and digital payment risk including instant payments and stablecoins. Furthermore, it addresses oversight, recovery and resolution planning and cross-border coordination. As a result, delegates can assess systemic exposure and design controls that protect stability. Gentex Training Center delivers the programme through resilience workshops and oversight case work.
Managing Systemic Risk in Digital Payments and Financial Market Infrastructures Course Objectives
- Explain systemic risk concepts and how risk propagates through financial networks.
- Describe the structure of payment systems, clearing and settlement infrastructures.
- Apply the PFMI principles to financial market infrastructure oversight.
- Assess credit, liquidity, operational and legal risk in settlement systems.
- Apply operational resilience and cyber resilience requirements to infrastructures.
- Evaluate risk in digital payment channels including instant payments and digital assets.
- Analyse concentration, interdependency and single point of failure exposures.
- Design recovery, resolution and continuity plans for critical infrastructures.
- Apply oversight, supervision and regulatory reporting frameworks.
- Assess cross-border coordination and international standards compliance.
Course Methodology
The course combines expert briefings with resilience workshops and oversight case studies. Participants map an infrastructure network, run a disruption simulation and prepare an oversight assessment. In addition, structured peer review and group debate sharpen regulatory judgement, and each day closes with an applied systemic risk task.
