Taking a higher profile at the board table

  • Issue No 123

M&A deals in the Asia Pacific region may seem to be in a decline since 2011, yet what lies beneath is that the deals are not being closed as quickly as before partly due to limits national regulators are putting on the ownership of domestic banks by foreign banks. Beyond bank mergers, this issue also looks at the evolving role of the chief risk officer in influencing strategic business decisions and embedding a holistic risk culture in the organisation, and how banks in Asia are transforming their risk management practices to face a more demanding and intrusive regulatory environment.
