Resilience in the Securities Services sector is more than just business continuity. As I review the relevant guidance from the Basal Committee on Banking Supervision which tend to be applied to individual banks, it’s is worth noting that operational resilience has been defined as the “ability to deliver critical operations through disruption “. As I review the 1st half of this year, it is interesting to note some changes across the African capital market that have caused a disruption but the African capital market players continue to be resilient in every aspect. #Capitalmarket #securityservices #Stock-exchanges

The impact of risk and Fintech on ESG performance: evidence from gulf cooperation council (GCC) banks Samir Srairi https://lnkd.in/dUuwX4j7 ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) bank risk on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, emphasizing the roles of Fintech and corporate governance. Using a sample of 48 commercial banks, our research reveals a significant negative influence of bank risk on ESG performance, applicable to both conventional and Islamic banks. Mechanism analysis indicates that Fintech development serves as a mediator, while corporate governance acts as a moderator, driving banks to enhance their ESG performance. Notably, the impact of Fintech on promoting corporate ESG performance is more significant in Islamic banks than in conventional counterparts. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis suggests that the effect of Fintech development on ESG performance is more pronounced for large and state-owned banks.
