A milestone in robust and sustainable financial Governance
Last Friday, the Financial Technology Transfer Agency (ATTF) proudly celebrated its 25th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in improving financial knowledge transfer around the world. With the support of our partner countries, we have trained more than 40,000 banking and financial professionals in 40 countries, empowering them to sustainably strengthen their financial sectors.
This achievement would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of our partners and the Government of Luxembourg. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in designing and delivering impactful training programmes tailored to the specific needs of each country. Together, we have created a robust network of skilled professionals ready to meet the challenges of today's financial landscape. In his video address, H.E. Xavier Bettel, Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, emphasized that ATTF plays a crucial role in Luxembourg's efforts toward financial inclusion and governance, which are vital for long-term economic resilience. H.E. Gilles Roth, Minister of Finance, expressed gratitude for ATTF's dedication over the past 25 years and acknowledged the essential cooperation from partners, including central banks and local experts, in supporting ATTF's mission.
The anniversary celebrations were preceded by the Partner Country Forum on Wednesday and Thursday. It featured engaging discussions and collaborative sessions that celebrated our past achievements and envisioned future opportunities. Keynote speakers highlighted innovative training methods and the need for continuous learning to adapt to the rapidly changing financial environment. Participants shared insights on talent management in sustainable finance, addressing the challenges of attracting and retaining skilled professionals. The Forum provided a platform for exchanging.
The ATTF remains committed to facilitating knowledge transfer and strengthening financial systems in our partner countries. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners and dedicated trainers to foster a better future for the global banking and financial sector.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey - especially the Government of Luxembourg, our partner countries and the dedicated trainers who have played a vital role in our success. Together, we are making a significant difference in the financial landscape and empowering nations to build resilient financial systems for the future.
