Liquidity risk management requires bank treasury teams to monitor cash flows continuously to ensure the institution can meet its payment obligations under both normal conditions and stressful market scenarios.
The Expected Maturity Profile Analysis
Treasury teams organize all assets and liabilities into specific time buckets based on their contractual maturities, mapping potential liquidity gaps:
  Maturity Bucket Tier |   Asset Inflow Accounts      |   Liability Outflow Accounts
-----------------------+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
  Next 24 Hours        | Central bank reserve cash    | Volatile wholesale deposit withdrawals
  2 to 7 Days          | Maturing short-term repos    | Expiring commercial paper lines
  8 to 30 Days         | Short-term loan repayments   | Maturing customer certificates of deposit

By computing net liquidity positions across these time horizons, treasurers can locate upcoming funding gaps and ensure the firm holds sufficient liquid assets to bridge temporary cash flow shortfalls.
