The Asian Banker Achievement Awards 2007
Some 380 nominations were received from all countries in the region for the programme in 2007. Each nomination was quantifiably assessed by our research staff and a final submission made to the external panel of judges for their evaluation and validation of the process.
The external panel of judges was selected for their independence and familiarity with the financial services industry.
