Felaban review: The secret of survival is shared in Miami

This year’s Felaban conference, held in Miami in November, attracted nearly 2,000 bankers to discuss how well Latin America has come through the financial crisis. Keynote speakers at the Latin American federation of banks meeting included Roberto Setúbal, chief executive of Itaú Unibanco, and Rick Waugh, president and chief executive of Scotiabank.

Both told delegates how they planned to expand their regional presence, increase profits and share their knowledge of how good risk management saved their respective banks from trouble during the recent financial storm.
