Basel IV: Umsetzung in der EU
Annette Blank
Die Basel IV Umsetzung in der EU hat Bezug zu allen Risikoarten in Banken. Angesichts der dynamischen Entwicklung und der relativ kurzen Zeitspanne bis zur Implementierung sind regelmäßige Updates für Mitarbeitende im Regulatory Reporting, Risk Management oder anderen Business Units essenziell, um bis 2025 Konformität mit den Neuregelungen herzustellen.
At first glance, whistleblowing and sustainability have little to do with one another.

Whistleblowing includes all situations where a person reports or forwards a suspected legal or regulatory violation to an organisational body.

Umsetzung der finalen Basel 3-Regeln in der EU – CRR3/CRD6
Annette Blank
Angesichts der dynamischen Entwicklung, der weitreichenden Änderungen und der relativ kurzen Zeitspanne bis zum Inkrafttreten der neuen EU-Vorschriften für Banken ist ein tiefgehendes Verständnis essenziell. Im Fokus der Maßnahmen stehen Änderungen und Empfehlungen für zahlreiche Geschäftsbereiche.

Using Fintech developments in the democratisation process

Khun Cho Thar Htay

The competition among telecom providers has made access to mobile internet far easier, radically changing people's lives, and exposing them to financial inclusion and literacy, and bringing them from cash to digital finance.

Sustainability and ESG aspects now essential for corporate finance
Holger Becker
Companies and banks are facing increasing challenges in (loan) financing. These no longer relate only to the questions of debt service capability, the collateral to be provided, or an adequate use of equity capital.

The Key Role of Regulators for Digital Financial Inclusion
Ricardo A. Estrada Villalta
Most central bankers in emerging markets would argue that DFI is still a work in progress. One of the main reasons is the need to narrow the ‘digital gap’, which in the case of DFI includes raising financial and digital literacy, addressing infrastructure issues and also overcoming challenges in the ‘last mile’ of the delivery of financial products and services.

Digital Financial Services and Financial Inclusion in Emerging Markets
Christian Hecker
Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic altered many aspects of our daily life, drastically reshaping how we work and live. As a matter of fact, the pandemic was a disastrous occurrence as it left many organisations with no clue of how to move on. However, it is equally important to note that COVID-19 has shifted financial systems worldwide to a far higher level of digitalisation.
