Boards and executive teams respon sible for making monetary policy decisions\, managing risks and navigating turbulent economic situations benefit from the diversity of opinion offer ed by gender equality. As young women see more role models in female leade rs across sectors\, the pool of talent from which institutions can recruit widens and increased diversity can be expected. OMFIF is contributing to these trends with its annual Gender Balance Index\, now in its sixth year\ , which tracks the presence of women in senior positions at central banks and sovereign funds. The Singapore launch includes a keynote presentation and panel discussion focusing on public sector initiatives and draws on ex perience and comparative data from financial firms and institutions in the private sector. GBI 2019 has been expanded to include profiles of female central bankers and case studies covering internal policies that instituti ons have adopted to support the progress of women. The analysis includes r elevant changes in the senior ranks of the institutions covered and assess es how countries\, regions\, and other economic groupings perform in the i ndex. Topics for discussion: Importance of gender balance in public and pr ivate financial institutions Implementing strategies to help women progres s to the most senior positions Exploring ways to encourage more women to t ake senior roles in finance The role of regulatory and supervisory institu tions in promoting gender diversity Challenges and solutions for improving gender equality in Asia Speakers: Yumiko Murakami\, Head of Tokyo Centre\ , Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Shelly Liu\, Mana ging Director\, Country Head of China\, Barings Kara Owen\, [...] DTSTAMP:20261012T083904Z LOCATION:Financial Women's Association (Singapore)\, 111 North Bridge Road\ ,\, #21-01 Peninsula Plaza\,\, Singapore 179098\, Singapore SUMMARY:OMFIF Gender Balance Index 2019 launch discussion in Singapore:12 N ov 2019 9am-12nn END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
