THE EMIRATES Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS), the provider of specialised knowledge and enhanced learning experiences for the UAE banking and financial sector, in collaboration with Moody’s Analytics, a business research and analytics firm, recently hosted a workshop focussing on ‘Assessing the risk of SMEs’.
The intensive one-day training programme is part of the institution’s continuing focus towards the region’s SME segment. Interactive sessions and lectures featured at the workshop were aimed at improving the skills of lenders who are responsible for SME credit lending and risk activities.
“One of the essential requirements in becoming a successful banker for the SME segment is to have the ability of understanding your target market, along with its demands and requirements,” said Essa Al Zaabi, Deputy General Manager, EIBFS.
