Dear esteemed APABI colleagues: It has been 15 years since the crisis of 2008, which has forever changed the regulatory landscape of the financial sector. Now, with the financial turmoil in the first half of the year, as well as the end of the low interest rate era of the past decade, the banking industry is thinking about financial stability in ways that it hasn’t since 2008. All APABI members must think about resilience in various ways, from the traditional credit cycle to more idiosyncratic events like the pandemic and technological cha...
