Dinis Guarda Interviews Emmanuel Daniel, The Asian Banker - Challenges in a COVID-19 New World

Emmanuel Daniel, serial entrepreneur, financial expert and founder of The Asian Banker joins Dinis Guarda in this new series interview for citiesabc. As the COVID-19 crisis deepens in the West, both experts discuss potential economic consequences for nations, cities and companies, the impact on the financial industry and how the economic prominence can shift from West to East once the dust settles.

As the founder of The Asian Banker, one of the most prominents consultancies in financial services research, benchmarking and intelligence, Emmanuel Daniel is savvy in financial industry synergies, and he expects financial services to play a key role in dealing with this coronavirus crisis. Likewise, he shows some concerns about how well prepared the industry was to face a crisis like this, especially regarding digitisation and adoption of new technologies. “The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that the world banking has failed. With the advent of FinTech and emerging technologies, they have had no excuse to move their operations to the digital,” he said in the interview.
