The Superintendency of Banks of the Dominican Republic hosted a panel on risk management in public administration as part of its Risk Management Week, with Superintendent Alejandro Fernández W. outlining measures the supervisor has adopted to mitigate and manage risks across information security, staff, operational continuity and related areas. The event brought together risk, standards and supervisory specialists and focused on how contingency management supports service continuity and decision-making in the public sector. Fernández W. linked the Superintendency’s recent progress to an institutional transformation launched in 2020 after identifying vulnerable technology infrastructure and the absence of an integrated risk management framework, and reported that the institution now holds international certifications covering quality, anti-bribery, business continuity and information security, alongside physical upgrades to strengthen security, staff wellbeing and accessibility. The Superintendency reported it is in the process of obtaining a compliance certification and noted additional internal outreach during the 16–20 June Risk Management Week, including staff training on household contingency planning and a cybersecurity session for employees’ children.
