Course Overview

In the fast-evolving global financial ecosystem, treasury management has become one of the most critical functions within banking institutions. The ability to manage liquidity, assess risk, optimize cash flow, and adapt to economic shifts is no longer a back-office necessity—it is now a strategic imperative. To meet the increasing demands of modern treasury operations, Pideya Learning Academy offers a comprehensive training program titled Treasury Management Skills for Banking Professionals, tailored specifically for professionals operating in banking and financial sectors, especially within the GCC region.
Amid global economic volatility, effective treasury and cash management have taken center stage. According to Deloitte’s 2024 Global Corporate Treasury Survey, over 70% of treasurers now identify liquidity management as a top priority, with significant focus on improving cash flow forecasting accuracy and preparing for interest rate volatility. Furthermore, EY’s GCC Banking Sector Outlook 2024 emphasizes the resilience of banks in the region, supported by strong regulatory frameworks and digital transformation initiatives. The report underscores the need for dynamic treasury teams equipped with the knowledge and agility to respond to shifting market conditions and regulatory expectations.
In response to these evolving challenges, Pideya Learning Academy’s Treasury Management Skills for Banking Professionals course provides a deep dive into essential treasury functions, offering participants a structured understanding of liquidity planning, cash positioning, financial instruments, risk management strategies, and regulatory compliance. The course content has been specifically designed to reflect the unique operational and regulatory environment of GCC banking institutions while remaining globally relevant.
Participants will gain a robust understanding of the fundamentals of effective cash flow management, including working capital optimization, enabling them to support better short-term liquidity decisions.

The course provides contemporary techniques for managing cash, drafting accurate cash flow forecasts, and determining optimal cash and loan balances.
A key highlight of the course includes an insightful analysis of treasury investment products, helping participants evaluate returns and associated risks—critical for maintaining portfolio health in volatile markets. The curriculum also covers regulatory impacts on treasury operations, ensuring participants stay informed about compliance obligations, both locally and internationally.
Another cornerstone of the program is its focus on technological advancements in treasury functions. From digital platforms that streamline cash flow visibility to risk analytics tools that enhance decision-making, participants will explore how innovative technology is reshaping treasury operations. Moreover, the course emphasizes the importance of identifying and mitigating risks—whether market, credit, or operational—through strategic planning and early-warning frameworks.
Participants will also examine real-world case studies and strategic scenarios that illustrate how leading institutions navigate financial uncertainty.
