BTRM Global Chapters

North American Chapter

Introducing new BTRM faculty member and North America chapter director – Jill Cetina

We are pleased to announce that Jill Cetina, CFA is expanding her involvement with the Certificate in Bank Treasury Risk Management (BTRM).  In addition to teaching in the BTRM program, Professor Cetina will be the BTRM North America chapter director and help to deepen and expand BTRM’s relationships with the banking industry throughout North America.  Jill is the associate director of the commercial banking program and an executive professor finance at the Mays Business School at Texas A&M.  She is also a 2024-2026 Conference of State Banking Supervisors economic research and policy scholar and periodic contributor to American Banker.   Jill previously has held senior roles at Moody’s Investors Service, the Federal Reserve, and the US Treasury Department.

Jill stated “I am so pleased to work with BTRM in this capacity and support BTRM’s educational mission to strengthening banks’ balance sheet, liquidity, and interest rate risk management globally.  In light of structural changes in the global economy, interest rates and funding conditions are likely to remain more volatile and important for banks going forward.  As the 2023 US bank failures show, strong asset liability management (ALM) is crucial.  ALM is a topic where all North American banks – irrespective of some potential deregulation – should be looking to up their game and strengthen their bank.  BTRM is the premier global credential in bank treasury management.”

Latin America Chapter

The BTRM Latin America (LatAm) Chapter was set up in partnership with NTT DATA to address specific bank regulation and markets needs for students working in Latin America. It is structured to uphold the highest level of quality and rigour offered by the BTRM students worldwide, together with specific material emphasising regional learning needs. In Latin America, the banking industry faces historically low interest rate levels, devaluated local currencies, a negative credit outlook and challenges to manage volatility and liquidity in the financial markets, along with other challenges. The main objectives of the Chapter are to facilitate access in Latin America to the best skills and boost ALM best-practice in the region.

LatAm Chapter features Region-specific lectures during each cohort, covering:

  • Regional regulatory requirements
  • Regional markets
  • LatAm currency environment
  • Ad hoc issues of current interest
  • Spanish and/or Portuguese language webinars
  • Spanish and Portuguese language
