Discussions covered risk mitigation strategies and the development of risk frameworks aligned with international standards, including effective management of credit, market, operational, and compliance risks, as well as risk forecasting, technology-driven services, and cybersecurity issues.
Speaking as Chief Guest, Md Sirajul Islam said risks are inherent in all banking activities, including deposit mobilisation, loan disbursement, and investment. He said that, to ensure bank stability, customer confidence, and sustainable growth of the country's financial sector, risks must be kept under control.
He added that implementing risk mitigation strategies in line with international standards not only reduces financial risks but also strengthens governance, transparency, and good corporate practices, thereby enhancing the confidence of customers and investors. He also elaborated on key aspects of the Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) process, currently being implemented by Bangladesh Bank.
As Special Guest, Md Nurul Haque said that building a sustainable, stable, and responsible banking system is not possible without a cohesive and robust risk governance framework. He noted that the Risk Management Committee continues to supervise and review risk identification, assessment, and mitigation processes as a top priority.
