I am confident that today’s event will play a pivotal role in facilitating this exchange of knowledge,” stated Natia Turnava.
In her speech, the NBG Acting President also focused on the advanced mechanisms for sanctions enforcement management developed by the National Bank, the methodology of international sanctions compliance and monitoring systems operating during remote and physical inspections of banks.
