Following the BAFT Future Leader Class of 2025 presentations at the BAFT Global Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, BAFT is excited to launch a series of engaging and in-depth webinars. These sessions will feature our Future Leaders as they delve into the insights presented in their papers, sparking a dialogue on the topics.
For our inaugural series, we highlight two groundbreaking projects: Correspondent Banking Operating Models and BRICS. In the webinar on Correspondent Banking, participants will explore how organizational engineering plays a crucial role in optimizing efficiency and profitability. Attendees will gain clarity on the vital distinctions between governance structures (who drives decision-making) and operating structures (how strategies are tactically implemented). This project, informed by in-depth interviews with global, regional, and local banking executives, offers fresh perspectives and actionable insights.
The BRICS session will provide a comprehensive analysis of the economic bloc composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It will investigate how BRICS initiatives unlock opportunities for expanded financial access, foster innovation, and promote systemic diversification, while also addressing the inherent challenges of financial fragmentation, heightened operational complexity, and regulatory inconsistencies.
Join us for these thought-provoking webinars, where research meets real-world application. Together, we will explore emerging trends and strategies that are shaping the future of global transaction banking.
Whether you’re in banking, finance, or just curious about global trends, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
