The future of economic diplomacy lies beyond multilateral organisations
ONE of the most revealing discussions that I was invited to speak at during the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok concerned something seemingly mundane: credit-risk data.
The future of economic diplomacy lies beyond multilateral organisations
在曼谷举行的国际货币基金组织（IMF）-世界银行年会期间，我受邀参加了一场极具启发性的讨论，其议题看似平淡无奇：信用风险数据。 这场讨论由荷兰和英国政府、资产管理公司ILX以及全球新兴市场风险数据库召集，与会者包括政策制定者、世界银行集团的高级管理层成员、发展机构、评级机构和私人投资公司，共同深入探讨了统计数据的细节。 其目的是提高发展中国家财务数据的透明度，从而以创新的方式促进私营领域的投资。

How do you know if your organization is really inclusive?
Corporate policies of diversity and inclusion run the risk of generating apathy. Not as a set of values, but as a set of practices that may fail to engender their desired outcomes. Ineffective practices can be counterproductive. This is particularly true for multinational companies that roll out global policies without capitalizing on the cultural diversity inherent in their operations across time zones, and in hubs such as Singapore.

Future of banking: 5 trends reshaping a sector in turmoil
By Manuela Stefania Fulga and Lutfey Siddiqi The banking sector has been severely disrupted in recent years by events such as COVID-19, the war in Ukraine and a rise in geopolitical tensions. Financial institutions must now navigate issues such as inflationary pressures, rapid normalization of monetary policies and growing fragmentation. The newly-published Banking and Capital Markets Transformation Map identifies key trends shaping how banks manage shocks while ensuring stability.

Lessons from Singapore on promoting diversity and inclusion at work
New research explores the diversity and inclusion landscape in Singapore. The researchers used interviews to draw three major insights to help businesses in their D&I initiatives. Sitting at a focal point between east and west, Singapore has a nuanced and multi-layered cultural landscape that exemplify the importance of context for behavioural interventions to promote diversity and inclusion (D&I).
COVID-19 makes inclusion a strategic imperative for business
COVID-19 presents a powerful threshold-moment in the alignment of words with deeds, for both investors and investee companies. Demand must come from new sources – new communities, new regions, and new markets. As a result, inclusion becomes a strategic driver of growth. Investment returns must come from new asset classes - and those not already on the stakeholder capitalism and sustainable finance bandwagon risk being left behind.
Preparing for a dramatically different future
INSIGHTS FROM CFA SOCIETY SINGAPORE The bandwagon of stakeholder capitalism and sustainable finance is truly in motion, and those not already on it it risk getting left behind Sat, Jul 18, 2020 - 5:50 AM TO QUOTE Singapore's Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam from his national address last month, "the future begins now". That future will be dramatically different not only for governments and individuals, but also for big business and big finance. What Covid-19 has done is accelerate...
Nine policy taboos overturned by Covid-19
INSIGHTS FROM CFA SOCIETY SINGAPORE In tackling pandemic-driven slowdown, pragmatism has ruled in countries across continents irrespective of ruling party affiliation Sat, May 16, 2020 - 5:50 AM AN ECONOMY is defined as a "circular flow of income" - one person's spending is another person's income. National income is the sum of everyone's spending, and loosely speaking, growth comes from increased velocity of that spending. Social distancing or lockdown is a deliberate interruption in...
Why employees are the key to stakeholder capitalism
Employees have to be seen as the link between pledges and metrics. The narrative around the change to stakeholder capitalism has to be clear, compelling and energise the employees of large organizations. Engaging employees with this narrative is the key to bridging the gap. Companies need to engage their rank and file, allowing them to shape the new narrative, writes Lutfey Siddiqi.
Signalling sincerity in stakeholder capitalism
Proponents of stakeholder capitalism can signal their separation from the impostors in two areas: proportionality and optionality, writes Lutfey Siddiqi. Milton Friedman versus Klaus Schwab – it was a battle between two world views. In 1970, Friedman wrote his seminal essay on the role of the firm effectively arguing that the “business of business is business” and that wider stakeholder considerations can be value-destructive.

How to attract business and investment
It’s all about the execution. This is the first part of a two-part article To the outsider, what is marvellous about Bangladesh is that it seems to do the difficult things really well, and the apparently easy things, less well. Its annual GDP growth rate has exceeded 7% in the last four years. If this sustains, it will translate into a doubling of income every 10 years.
Attracting Business and Investment?It’s all about Execution.
To the outsider, what is marvellous about Bangladesh is that it seems to do the difficult things really well and the apparently easy things, less well. Its annual GDP growth rate has exceeded 7% in the last four years. If this sustains, it will translate into a doubling of income every ten years. Moreover, Bangladesh outperforms its perceived peer-group when it comes to progress in health, gender and inclusivity, having earned a reputation for resilience and frugal innovation.
Good Corporate Governance requires Diversity
By Lutfey Siddiqi A hallmark of our era of disruption, populism and apparent de-globalisation is the erosion of trust in organisations and institutional systems. Trust is gained through better governance, which in turn is built on transparency, accountability and openness to diversity. It is no coincidence that both Singapore and the UK issued new codes of corporate governance this year. Reinforcing systems of good governance attracts investment and represents sound risk management.

Rethinking diaspora's role in developing countries
Are developing countries under-utilising a wealth of diaspora resources? Can more be done with diaspora capital, expertise and connections? At the World Economic Forum on ASEAN last week, I approached this question from three perspectives. As a contributor to the Commonwealth Secretariat's recent survey of expatriates in London, I drew on its insights. As a former investment banker with a remit across global emerging markets, I recalled the relative differences in approach by different countries.
Confronting the macroeconomic challenges of the fourth industrial revolution
“The fourth industrial revolution – isn’t that an IT thing? We have a Minister for Digital looking at it”, said a policymaker. “Yes, it is changing business models which is why we are fostering an ecosystem for start-up innovation”, said another minister. The implications of the current wave of technological change at a mechanical and commercial level are fairly well-understood.

Changes Facing Risk Managers
The context of risk management and risk preparedness has changed in recent years. Here are four major trends shaping the field: Structural Disruption We are living through a period of multi-dimensional disruption that is often dubbed as the fourth industrial revolution. Developments in extreme connectivity and extreme automation have consequences beyond the world of technology: business models, industries, markets, regulatory, and governance regimes have been thrown into a flux.

Ignore trolls, embrace constructive conflict. How to lead in intolerant times
What lies beyond tolerance? What is the space on the other side of tolerance? Is it a breaking point, or a bursting of the dam, when you think: "I can’t put up this pretence anymore. I’m tired of being politically correct, tired of having to pretend that I don’t have concerns or fears in case I get branded a racist, xenophobic or some other kind of phobic?
4 ways to counter the spread of violent extremism
Reactive to symptoms and proactive to causes – we need both approaches to the curse of violent extremism. Comprehensive and durable solutions are hard to conceptualzse, much less implement and in the meantime, our social fabric is stretched thin. There are at least four factors that contribute to the widening of identity-based schisms in our societies. Acknowledging and addressing them could make a modest contribution towards developing our collective counter-narrative. 1. Constructive conflict.
