The Master in Central Banking (MCB) Class of 2026 recently had the privilege of an engaging breakfast session with Duvvuri Subbarao, the 22nd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

Stepping into leadership just one week before the 2008 Global Financial Crisis erupted, Dr. Subbarao is widely respected for his steady hand in steering the Indian economy through that turbulent period—mitigating shocks while instituting critical reforms.

Our students dived into current economic developments and the unique challenges of modern central banking, gaining a masterclass in crisis management and institutional resilience.

It was also a moment to highlight the growth and outcomes achieved along the way—both professionally and personally. A truly insightful exchange that continues to shape future central banking leaders.

The Biz Titans Plenary & Roundtable reconvened at the Tun Razak Exchange — our Strategic Partner, alongside Supporting Partner FIDE FORUM — for a timely and candid dialogue with International Monetary Fund (IMF) Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Bo Li, joined by Professor Joseph Cherian (CEO, President & Dean, ASB) and Tan Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz (Founding Chair & Co-Chair, ASB), on “Geoeconomics, Capital Mobilization, and the Future of Growth in Asia”.

Amid rising inflation, energy shocks, and ongoing supply chain disruptions, discussions explored how global resilience is being tested, unevenly across economies, and what it takes to navigate this complexity.

A clear takeaway: sustaining Asia’s growth will depend on economic dynamism, open trade, and stronger regional integration.

Convening a select group of board directors, C-suite leaders, regulators, and policymakers, the Biz Titans Plenary & Roundtable continues to provide a platform for candid exchange on pressing global and regional issues, where perspectives meet, and futures are shaped.

What does it take to stay relevant in an AI-driven accounting landscape?

At the MARA International Accounting Conference (MiCA) 2026, Professor Joseph Cherian joined industry leaders to unpack the future of the accounting profession, where technology, judgement, and trust intersect.

From rethinking how we educate future accountants to emphasizing the role of human judgement in an AI-enabled environment, the conversation was clear:

Technology can enhance analysis, but it cannot replace the human ability to question outputs, detect anomalies, and act with integrity, which is critical in accounting.

As Professor Joe highlighted, the future of learning must be experiential, continuous, and closely connected to industry, not confined to the classroom.

Because in a world shaped by automation, it is human insight, ethics, and responsibility that will continue to define true value.
