Dear Directors and Participants in the Seminar,

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

Excellences

On behalf of Saving and Credit Bank- BPC and the Angolan Development Bank -BDA, I great all those present and in particular our honorable guests, whom I wish welcome and great hospitality in our country.

Dear Sirs., Training presupposes the beginning of the application of knowledge and greater responsibilities in professional pursuits.

Therefore, we must deeply reflect on all that will be taught and shared on a trial basis between participants and helping to promote and encourage mutual cooperation in knowledge sharing.

The relentless pursuit of the alignment of the expectations of the institutions and their staff, have earned over the years, important role in the SADC-DFRC strategy to promote training activities in various fields, in order to support the quantitative and qualitative development of human potential, mainly in the southern region.

It should be noted that Angola is writing a new page in its history. In recent  years, our country is going through a structural process of modernization and diverse and sustainable development, and it is therefore essential to development and promotion of the most valuable resource the country has, the national human resources.

The materialization of this goal necessarily requires mobilization of other important capital resource, where financial institutions are expected  to play  its role of prudent and quite rationally, as preventing any losses.

In a more accessible language, we can designate this particular threat to us in every moment of risk. Therefore, it is necessary to detect, evaluate and act on all occupational risks.

It is true that the greater or lesser concern with this matter reflects every financial system management culture as well as the context in which they live.

However, the globalization of markets requires the application of international standards, posing new challenges and demands to the various partners and stakeholders operating in these markets.

In this logic, it has been created pressure for harmonization of processes and procedures, particularly in risk management domain, in order to maximize the balance and fairness between competing players in this market, increasingly competitive.
Thus, risk management training, is no more than a basic pillar in the structure of our institutions, it will only be possible to achieve successful and sustainable prosperity, when the concepts and principles arising therefrom are applied in the form of pyramid, representing the various levels of responsibility, activity, skills, knowledge and attitudes.

Excellences
