Emerging from the Pandemic

The impact of the pandemic continued to prevent wider travel for many during the first half of the year. But as the year advanced and Covid-19 restrictions diminished, there were more opportunities to meet in person. During 2022 we combined a series of virtual and in person meetings to advance the Banking on Values movement.

Gabv Annual Meeting

BRAC Bank in Bangladesh hosts the second virtual GABV Annual Meeting: ‘Banking for Good in an Age of Change’ to explore how values can secure a positive future for banking.

While we could not meet in-person we made the most of a virtual format, hearing voices from across our network as well as from high-profile speakers such as Jørgen Randers, Baroness Minouche Shafik and Prof. Atiur Rahman. It was a particular pleasure to hear from so many CEOs, who responded to the themes and issues raised by the keynote speakers.

The event provided a flavour of Bangladesh and the region, and the impact on local communities of BRAC Bank’s great work through filmed virtual learning journeys. An inspiring open event also explored the history and work of BRAC and BRAC Bank.
