One of focus areas of this sub-committee is to facilitate the decision of the Bankers’ Committee to ensure that women occupy more leadership positions in the industry.

Unfortunately, as they move on to middle and senior management roles, this starts to diminish to 31 and 27 per cent respectively. We have collectively agreed that by 2014, 40 per cent of senior management and 30 per cent of board level positions should be occupied by women.
