ALM Financial Analyst

Job details :

The Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), established in 1956, is a multilateral development bank with a unique social mandate from its 43 member states. The CEB finances investment in social sectors, including education, health and affordable housing, with a focus on the needs of vulnerable people. Borrowers include governments, local and regional authorities, public and private banks, non-profit organisations and others. As a multilateral bank with a triple-A credit rating, the CEB funds itself on the international capital markets. It approves projects according to strict social, environmental and governance criteria, and provides technical assistance. In addition, the CEB receives funds from donors to complement its activities.

The Asset & Liability Management Unit (ALM) is looking for an ALM Financial Analyst to analyse ALM current indicators and simulations, industrialise the production of existing and new indicators, improve bond portfolio analytical metrics, and ameliorate the reporting tools to enhance internal operational and decision-making processes, as well as to optimise the financial results of the Bank.

The ALM Unit is part of the Treasury & Asset and Liability Management Division (FIN-TALM) which defines the CEB’s investment strategy and manages the financial risks. The Division optimises the Bank’s profitability by executing transactions in a wide variety of financial fixed-income products and investment horizons and hedges market risks arising from loans.

Finally, the Finance Directorate (FIN) ensures that the CEB’s financial management preserves its robustness and resilience in the pursuit of its social mandate. FIN provides sustainable financial solutions for CEB’s clients and obtains financial resources at competitive terms through bond issues in the financial markets and investor relations management. The Directorate ensures the adequate liquidity level to cover lending activities and enables the Bank to honour its debt maturities and face unexpected events while generating net profits and continuously strengthening the CEB’s own funds.
