“AICB's Online Exams via Remote Proctoring — the Way Forward!"
The world has changed. Professional exams have had to adapt given social distancing limitations and concerns of infection. Thankfully, AICB’s approach to remote proctoring has done very well in this regard. I was pleasantly surprised with the online experience that offered high flexibility and removed uncertainty regarding venues. The setup at home was smooth and allowed me to concentrate on doing my best during the exams. It’s a great option and I highly recommend it.

Pre- Empt A Green Swan
In a January 2020 podcast, Luiz A Pereira da Silva, Bank for International Settlements Deputy General Manager and co-author of Green Swan, described two types of sustainability risk — physical and transition — and ways to preserve financial stability in the era of climate change. While it is important to preserve the delicate balance between the exigency to transition from brown to green and the material risks that accompany this move, efforts to combat climate change, while wholly necessary, must consider all consequences and ensure that they are managed well for the common good.

Rising Temperatures, Melting Ice Caps, and the Banking Sector
In the banking sector, there has been an increased focus on the issue of climate risk within the larger ESG agenda. But how important is ESG — or specifically, climate risk — in the context of the banking sector? Is this just a fashionable buzzword that will disappear when a new trend comes along or does this represent a fundamental shift in terms of how we look at the role and purpose of banks within the wider community? To answer this question, we must first consider this from the perspective of history and science. Read More
No Banking on a Dead Planet
In our interview with French agronomist and sustainability leader Minh Cuong Le Quan, he stresses that the timeline of net-zero pledges by financial institutions are way off target and hardly depictive of the dire situation we are in. Climate change is just one of the many symptoms of the ailing world we live in — a consequence of the greed and materialism we see today — and bolder changes must take place within the current decade to mitigate the consequences of the situation. The financial sector is able to play a great role in shaping humanity’s future for the better, and this must start today. Read More
