Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I share with you our 

2024 programs. 

As seen from the events of 2023, the challenges 

financial institution supervisor and regulators 

face are diverse and ever evolving, requiring a 

steadfast dedication to continuous learning and 

improvement. Training and capacity development 

play a critical role in ensuring effective financial 

institution supervision and in maintaining the 

stability and integrity of financial institutions. 

In our programs, you will engage with experts, 

network with peers, participate in insightful 

discussions, and immerse yourselves in practical 

exercises designed to enhance your capabilities 

to positively influence the financial landscape we 

all serve.

We look forward to welcoming you in 2024!
