Thank you The National for the Coverage 📌

BSP sponsors finance networking event | The National

The 7th Annual Networking Event of the Banking and Finance Students Association, held on the 29th of August, 2025, has been a resounding success, bringing together leading institutions such as BSP, Credit Corporation, KinaBank, the Securities Commission of PNG, The PNG Recruiter, NBC, Post Courier, EMTV, alongside distinguished alumni from across the financial industry.

The program featured a panel discussion on FATF, keynote addresses from BSP and KinaBank, and the invaluable insights of Dr. Solomon Awili, while its central focus — networking — fostered meaningful connections between students, professionals, and alumni.

This achievement has been made possible through the generous support of our sponsors — Kina Securities Ltd, BSP Financial Group Ltd, the Securities Commission of Papua New Guinea, and the Centre of Excellence in Financial Inclusion. Their trust has reminded us, the students, of our pivotal role in shaping PNG’s financial future.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our guests, our alumni, the organizing committee, and all who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event possible.

Onwards and upwards.♥️🖤
