With the first seminar taking place on March 1, 2021, the Monday Finance and Banking Series was born and developed with the aim of providing a forum that provides opportunities for exchange and exchange between business owners, economists, lecturers, and experts in the field of Economics, Finance - Banking of universities and organizations at home and abroad.
The
attraction of the seminar series lies not only in the famous guests, but also
in the rich and in-depth content of each talk, spanning all prominent
economic-financial-social issues at national and international levels.
For
example, in 2021, especially the second half of the year, when Vietnam was
heavily affected by the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the far-reaching
effects of the pandemic were reflected in the series of seminars. These include
live discussion sessions on the impact of COVID-19 and response policies of the
government and businesses on the domestic labor market; how the government
changes and is flexible in operating fiscal and monetary policy; as well as the
impact of these policies on the stock market….
Many
discussions in the framework of the Monday Finance and Banking Series
discussion series also pointed out that although the COVID-19 pandemic has been
negatively affecting all aspects of the country's economic, political and
social life, but this is also an opportunity that requires Vietnam to
accelerate the digital transformation process - the "backbone" of the
Industrial Revolution 4.0. In this context, banking is considered as one of the
pioneering industries in the digital transformation race. In this aspect, the
guests in the series of seminars gave an in-depth look at eKYC technology,
omnichannel customer experience, or requirements and solutions of product and
service delivery in the race of “digital banking”.
After a year of operation and development, the Monday
