The Banking the Future of Sustainable Finance webinar was part of the IIF ESG Webinar Series, which was designed to promote understanding of the rapidly evolving landscape for ESG disclosure and to align efforts to measure and track climate finance.

The Institute of International Finance (IIF) today responded to the Financial Stability Board (FSB) Consultative Document “Effective Practices for Cyber Incident Response and Recovery”.

On July 15, the IIF submitted a high-level response to the European Commission’s public consultation on the development of a Renewed Sustainable Finance Strategy (RSFS). Drawing on engagements with the IIF Sustainable Finance Working Group, this response is focused on topics of international relevance.

This week's ESG Webinar provided insight into the social and economic development implications of the Covid-19 pandemic for Africa and presented a detailed review of how the continent has responded thus far. We also covered some of the specific challenges facing the continent at this time and highlighted some innovative aspects of Africa’s response.

The IIF has provided comment on the FSB consultative document Addressing the regulatory, supervisory and oversight challenges raised by “global stablecoin” arrangements, published on April 14, 2020.
