The coronavirus pandemic continues to rage globally. Vaccination campaigns have injected some much needed optimism, but they’ve also prompted thoughts to turn to what happens next. This is especially so when it comes to the world of finance and concerns about post COVID-19 risks. 

To that end, our CEO, Alla Gil, recently gave a lecture to Japanese bankers, on the most critical questions facing finance professionals today. Also available with Japanese subtitles (see below), Alla discusses: 

• How to prepare for unprecedented scenarios. 
• The practical measures that could have been taken ahead of COVID-19. 
• In the midst of the pandemic, what can be done now?
• How to prepare for the next unexpected event?
