AIF AIMING TO BE WORLD CLASS LEADER
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 (Bernama) -- The Asian Institute of Finance (AIF),
jointly established by Malaysia's central bank Bank Negara Malaysia and the
Securities Commission, is aiming to be a world class leader in providing
intermediate as well as advanced education and training for the financial
sector.
Its affiliates are Institute of Banks in Malaysia (IBBM), Islamic Banking
And Finance Institute Malaysia (IBFIM), Malaysian Insurance Institute (MII) and
Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC).
AIF Chief Executive Officer Daniel Viets said that to be a global leader was
the institute's long term vision. For the short term, the institute would remain
focused in Malaysia, he added.
"We are focused in raising up the talents and capabilities of Malaysians to
be world leaders in finance by providing them the skills needed," he told
Bernama here.
To achieve AIF's vision, he said the institute had begun implementing a
four-pillar strategy, namely capacity building, setting the standard for
training programmes, rationalisation and branding for its affiliates.
MII Chief Executive Officer Khadijah Abdullah said AIF could become a
stronger force in driving human capital development for the financial
services industry, not only in Malaysia but also abroad.
However, she said, the institute must work together with its affiliates and
synergise their efforts to forge better collaboration and eradicate task
duplication.
IBFIM Chief Executive Officer Adnan Alias said AIF could carry IBFIM further in terms of networking, collaboration with international entities and also certification recognition.
Meanwhile, IBBM Chief Executive Officer Tay Kay Luan said IBBM hoped to own a research and development hub to support the learning centre planned by AIF.
