Part I: Climate Action – Leadership in a Skeptical Era (Moderated by Jarek Dmowski, MFC Consultant)

In a world grappling with populism and skepticism, is climate action still a priority? Absolutely. We will confront the rising tide of doubt, exploring the political and societal forces that challenge climate agendas. Let’s also discuss the groundbreaking results of MFC’s latest research, showcasing the diverse climate initiatives and projects already underway within the microfinance sector. We will examine the limitations hindering even greater engagement, identify untapped opportunities, and address critical knowledge gaps. Be among the first to explore MFC’s research on new global climate finance initiative, empowering MFIs as catalysts for sustainable change.

Part II: Decoding the Financial Revolution – Insights from Moody’s (Presented by Petr Paklin, Moody’s)

Gain a crucial understanding of the evolving financial landscape through the lens of three pivotal Moody’s reports. This session will provide a big-picture view on the significant shifts occurring across emerging markets, the European digital banking scene, and the transformative power of artificial intelligence globally. Learn how banks are responding to fintech disruption, navigating economic headwinds, and leveraging AI for efficiency and personalization. Discover how these trends impact MFIs and strategically position your institution for sustainable growth in a rapidly transforming world.

This forum is your opportunity to engage with peers and thought leaders, navigate interconnected developments, and lead your MFI towards a resilient and impactful future.
