Introduction

Geopolitical developments no longer remain distant headlines for banks and financial institutions. Trade conflicts, sanctions regimes, armed conflicts, policy shifts, and regional instability directly influence capital flows, credit quality, market volatility, and regulatory responses. This program enables banking and financial professionals to interpret geopolitical risk in practical terms—connecting global events to balance sheets, portfolios, compliance decisions, and strategic planning. The focus is on building contextual risk awareness rather than geopolitical theory.
