Citi Vietnam offers training on derivatives
Citi Vietnam has successfully run a number of training courses on derivative products for businesses and financial institutions to help them prevent possible financial risks.
The courses, which used the latest software available and specifically designed for foreign currency and derivative products trading in the Asia-Pacific region, fulfils part of Citi Vietnam’s commitments to support the country’s banking industry.
The participants were updated with practical knowledge and the latest ways of applying derivatives to foreign exchange, interest rates and commodity prices as tools for managing financial risk.
Skills to analyse market trends and business methods to stave off risks incurred by corporate financial management practices were also focused on.
The learners were taught how to design investment plans, build foreign currency trading schemes, handle situation tests and use high-risk investment techniques.
Head of Citi Vietnam’s Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC) Bashar Tareq, said that by attending these training courses, financial and foreign currency staff would be provided with the latest knowledge of existing tools to help them assess risks more effectively and quickly seize market opportunities.
Citi resumed its operations in Vietnam in 1993 and has played a key role in assisting the development of the nation’s financial markets. It was the first US financial institution to receive a branch licence in 1994 and the first US bank to open a full branch in Hanoi in 1994.
Over the past decade, Citi has hosted a series of training courses and workshops on financial management for more than 4,000 employees from domestic and foreign companies and financial institutions in Vietnam.
