Regulators monitor banks' liquidity positions to ensure they have enough cash or cash-like assets if they suddenly face a large number of withdrawal requests. The fine will be a blow to Chief Executive Bill Winters, who at the time the errors happened was trying to overhaul the lender's risk and compliance culture."These errors did not affect Standard Chartered’s overall liquidity position, which remained in surplus throughout the period," it said in a statement.
