BNY’s Treasury function manages the firm’s balance sheet and financial resources, balancing earnings resilience, capital strength, liquidity needs, and risk across legal entities and jurisdictions in Europe and globally. Treasury Risk provides second line oversight to ensure risks are identified, measured, monitored, controlled, and reported in line with regulatory expectations and BNY’s risk appetite.
