CRITICAL TO DEVELOP TALENTS IN FINANCIAL SECTOR FOR FUTURE GROWTH
KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 (Bernama) -- It will be critical to develop talents in the financial sector with world class capabilities to gain responsible growth in the sector, says Chief Executive Officer of the Asian Institute of Finance, Daniel P. Viets.
"Our mandate is to augment human capital development in the financial services industry," he said on the sidelines of the ongoing AIF International Symposium 2011 here Friday.
AIF works closely with the financial industry and its training institutes such as Institut Bank-Bank Malaysia, Islamic Banking and Finance Institute Malaysia, the Malaysian Insurance Institute and Securities Industry Development Corporation to set the training standards, identify training needs and coordinate as well as enhance programme design, content, instruction and delivery, Viets said.
Jointly established by Bank Negara Malaysia (Malaysia's Central Bank) and the Securities Commission in January 2009, AIF also provides a platform for synergy and collaboration to build the capacity of these training institutes to elevate to world-class standard the competency and skills of financial services professionals.
On the body's latest initiative, he said the AIF had set up a database of all professional development training and learning programmes offered by Malaysian institutes under a single portal.
"It is searchable by institute, training topic, dates of interest and level of training. Currently, our four affiliated institutes plus ICLIF are on the portal.
"We will be extending this to include other interested training providers. AIF is offering its own cross cutting training programmes," he added.
