Asia Risk Manager of the Year Award

The Bank won the "Risk Manager of the Year Award" for the first time at the 2016 Asia Risk Awards. Organized by Asia Risk Magazine, this annual award recognizes best practices in risk management by banks and financial institutions across the Asian region.

Therefore, risk governance in Asia used to be relatively decentralized with a certain level of autonomy given for each country. Thanks to the newly implemented governance structure, timely escalation is ensured while addressing local regulatory requirements.
