What’s NewGLOPAC Newsletter Vol. 16 Just Published

Eight officials from the banking authorities of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Vietnam participated in the brand-new GLOPAC Virtual Fellowship Program as the 17th Group of Visiting Fellows from October 2020 to January 2021. It was the first time for us to welcome participants in the banking program from Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. The GLOPAC invites officials from financial regulatory authorities in emerging countries and regions to physically come to Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the Program for 2-3 months; however, this 17th Group of the Program was conducted virtually for the first time due to the global spread of Covid-19. The Program was initially divided into two phases: Phase 1, consisting of virtual training from October to December in 2020; and Phase 2, consisting of in-person training for about 10 days in January 2021. Despite our wishes, the situation of Covid-19 had not improved enough to invite the Visiting Fellows physically, and we reached a conclusion that we would continue the virtual training, instead. In spite of the time differences and physical distances, all of the Visiting Fellows proactively participated in all sessions and even the discussion session was effectively conducted. We hope we can welcome you here in Tokyo soon to physically complete the Program.
