The Finance Domain of SJIM successfully organized a Finance Symposium on the topic "Capital- Risk, Regulation, and Adequacy in Management of Banks." The event was enriched by the partnership with the State Bank of India (SBI), which played a crucial role as the knowledge partner. The symposium aimed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the complex dynamics involved in managing risk, regulation, and capital adequacy within the banking sector.

Basel Norms - Mitigating Credit and Other Risks

The first track of the symposium focused on Basel I, II, and III norms and their importance in mitigating credit risk and other associated risks within the banking sector. The session was delivered by Mr. Praveen from SBI, who provided detailed insights into how these international regulatory frameworks have evolved and their impact on banks' stability and resilience.

The second track, titled "Types of Capital," delved into the various forms of capital that banks manage and how they provide support to entrepreneurs, particularly through the Credit Monitoring Arrangement (CMA) forms. This track was jointly presented by Mr. Praveen and Mr. Venugopal Rao, both of whom brought their vast experience in banking to the fore.

The session was moderated by Ms. Lavanya, who facilitated an interactive discussion that allowed students to grasp the practical applications of these concepts.
