This is within an environment of financial price volatility, geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and technological challenges. Today, banks remain the most used option for the general public to deposit their savings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, FELABAN Secretary General, Giorgio Trettenero Castro, stated, &#8220;banks in the Latin American region and Spain have grown through mutual learning, providing viable intertemporal financial results, customer and environment knowledge, as well as the best available practices. It is urgent that, with the entry of new financial players, regulatory arbitrage be eliminated and regulatory neutrality be established.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The evolution of payment trends and digital transformation, the impact of Artificial Intelligence, the latest developments in fraud prevention and cybersecurity, sustainable finance, financial regulation, supervision, the strategic autonomy of regions, the importance of communication, and the contribution of diversity to performance are some of the topics analyzed in the meetings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s1.aebanca.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/felaban-y-aeb-abordan-en-madrid-los-retos-mundiales-del-sector-bancario.pdf\">Download the press release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Latin American Federation of Banks (FELABAN) and the Spanish Banking Association (AEB) have analysed in Madrid the challenges and opportunities facing the banking sector in the current global context, with a view to strengthening ties in strategic areas that will enable them to reinforce their role in driving economic and social progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":37715,"parent":0,"template":"","etiquetas-prensa":[],"class_list":["post-37714","notas-de-prensa","type-notas-de-prensa","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
