In the lecture, Mr. Yin firstly gave a brief introduction on global financial situation since 2008 and specially analyzed how government's financial policy affected the banking industry. He mentioned that the worldwide four-trillion loss caused by financial crisis has led to economic structural imbalances. Under this circumstance, Chinese government took extensive methods including easy monetary policy, active fiscal policy and four trillion Yuan for infrastructure construction to stimulate consumption, which would bring great opportunities for banking development.
In the Q&A section, students enthusiastically raised their questions. A senior student from Accounting asked the recruitment criteria of interns. Mr.Yin replied that an accounting or other economics-related degree would always be dominant. Besides, applicants' English proficiency, comprehensive quality and social competence would be valued during interview. Students about to enter the society should be willing to learn and adjust according to the changing times and situation to get accepted sooner.
The Bank of East Asia (BEA) is the largest independent local bank in Hong Kong incorporated in 1918. In Mainland China, BEA Group operates one of the largest networks of foreign banks. BEA offers a comprehensive training system for interns, outstanding ones of whom would be accepted as formal employees. Mr. Yin highly appreciated UIC's full-English education mode. He was very impressed by UIC students' excellent comprehensive quality, and hoped more students would be selected for interns at BEA.
