ICO'S INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE TRAINING PROGRAM IN DEVELOPMENT BANKING
Instituto de Crédito Oficial will hold the 11th edition of its international executive program in development banking from 26 to 30 October 2009.
The program was launched in 2003 as a response to the interest in the Institute’s activities shown by similar financial institutions from a number of different countries mainly in Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean. Thus, ICO grouped its main training activities into a comprehensive seminar to be held annually. First set up in April 2003, the program is currently working within a long-term framework aimed at sharing our knowledge with other development institutions and increasing our contacts with other banks.
As the program has proved to be very successful, since 2006 there has also been an autumn edition in Spanish.
The program is not only a way of giving institutions the chance to let to know one another, but an opportunity for the establishment of future cooperation agreements.
Extra information
The course is directed at managers of Financial Development Institutions. The final participants are selected on a joint basis by ICO and the institution in question.
