Kathmandu, Dec. 23:
Governor of the Nepal
Rastra Bank (NRB) Chiranjibi Nepal on Sunday said that the central bank was
committed to enhancing financial inclusion through the use of technology.
"Without the use of
the latest financial technologies, transformation in the banking and financial
sector would be incomplete," he said while addressing a conference on
'Transformation of human capital for a digital world'.
He urged the banks and
financial institutions (BFIs) to adopt the latest technology for the fast and
reliable service delivery, and also prepare themselves to fight with the
problems generated with the adoption of innovations.
Rapidly changing
technology and proliferation of financial institutions have demanded the
transformation of the human capital as well, he said.
Managing Director of
Banking, Finance and Insurance Institute of Nepal (BFIN), and the organiser of the event, Dr. Binod
Atreya said that the conference was organised to learn the trends in technology
and digital development shaping the banking and insurance businesses in the
future.
"The conference has
been a platform to learn the digital transformation and the emerging security
threats, risks, mitigation strategies and developing capabilities for the
insurance sector," he said.
On the occasion, BFIN
signed two separate Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with Risk Management
Association of India and Care Advisory Research and Training Limited to run
certified courses jointly, share knowledge and skills and organise conferences.
About 200 senior
officials from various BFIs attended the conference while experts from Nepal
and India facilitated various workshop and discussion sessions.
