discussed the topics of climate and
environmental risks as well as other
trends, like digitalization, low-interest-rate environment
and their implications on bank business models.
At the event on financial stability and stress
testing, we provided insights into the impacts of the
Covid-19 pandemic. For prudential supervisors and
financial market infrastructure experts, we organized
an extensive online course on cyber security.
We also held a webinar to examine and share
countries’ prospects of unwinding policy measures
taken due to Covid-19. Another webinar was dedicated
to the reforms and updates on benchmark
interest rates. We also reviewed the fast-changing
infrastructure of financial markets by discussing
