Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) has become a growing priority for banks and regulators in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs).

This paper argues that building more effective IRRBB management frameworks supported by well-functioning IRD markets is both a financial stability priority and a foundation for sustainable economic progress in EMDEs.
