【2021】APABI_June

2021-06-01

Dear APABI members:

The finance sector faces an important transition as the world gradually starts to recover from the pandemic. Work from home entails risks from security and the loss of close, informal cooperation, but it also may create opportunities for banks who trust their employees. Our June newsletter features this topic in the article below.

In addition, we have started a new feature in which we regularly interview APABI members to learn about their countries, banks, training institutions, and feedback on APABI. For the first interview posted below, we are pleased to have Mr. Jamal Al Jassmi, General Manager from the UAE's Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS) to join and share with us. We look forward to interviewing you soon.

Regards,
Hank C.C. Huang

APABI Talks with EIBFS, UAE: Smooth reaction to COVID crisis

The UAE banking sector has responded well to the COVID-19 crisis, according to H.E. General Manager Jamal Al Jassmi of the Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS), the UAE member of APABI. The UAE was not accustomed to remote work, but it quickly adapted to new work models, which it will probably keep in part after the crisis is finished.

Banks Cautiously Embrace the Full Potential of the Internet

For the first few decades of its existence, the internet was mostly a disappointment. In the very early days, tech optimists foresaw the end of distance, but those hopes were soon quashed, at least in the medium term. Production of some tradeable goods and low-value services moved to China and India, but this outsourcing never added much value for the customer countries. Silicon Valley remained a local phenomenon, driving up San Francisco housing prices but failing to create jobs in the US economy as a whole.
