The Banking Finance and Insurance Institute of Nepal (BFIN) is set to host a conference on ‘Financial Stability and Digital Transformation in

Uncertain Times’, marking its 6th anniversary, in Kathmandu on Wednesday (August 14).

The conference, which aims to bring together leading experts, policymakers, and industry leaders from Nepal, India, and Sri Lanka, will be held at the Radisson Hotel, BFIN said in a statement on Tuesday.

“The conference will focus on maintaining financial stability through the strategic use of digital technologies and effective risk management in banking, finance, and insurance sectors,” the statement reads. “The attendees will explore the role of AI, Fintech Revolution and Cybersecurity in Digital Banking and how it can aid in risk mitigation and management; derive creative strategies to manage and thrive amidst economic uncertainties.”
