Additionally, you will oversee the hedging of fixed-rate lending and deposit products, while monitoring interest rate risk metrics to ensure compliance with established limits. This role provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the bank’s financial stability and growth through advanced risk management and analytical capabilities.
