It was not until 2007 that it became self-evident that this was not a tragedy but an opportunity for Poland, which got a million ‘ambassadors’ in Europe, who were hardworking, acquired new experience and spoke foreign languages. Similarly to the Global Scott Network, the Polish diaspora emerged in the European Union. Over time, this diaspora turned into the Global Polish Network. Therefore, we were successful in turning the brain drain into brain gain. Obviously, the Global Polish Network would not have been possible without the E-Ambassador Internet System, which was set up in 2007. Whenever the Globals want to look together through the world news on issues they are interested in, they sit down so as to see the screen from different angles and each of them, holding their respective coffee cups and remote controls, looks through the Internet special edition produced by the aggregator. If they want to hear the sound, they just put on earphones. 7:00 a.m. After breakfast. Lucky. He can always get what he wants. Lucky is a Bavarian Mountain Hound. He loves long walks, freedom and, above all, he adores roaming the neighbourhood. Obviously, Lucky has a microchip implanted behind his ear, and John Global's bicycle is equipped with a GPS, which keeps track of Lucky's every move.
In Malaysia, solutions tested in the Bank’s regulatory sandbox enabled the Bank to design regulatory safeguards that would allow the implementation of end-to-end electronic know-yourcustomer processes for the provision of remittance services. By dispensing with the need to conduct physical face-to-face verifications, this is expected to significantly expand access to remittance services for customers working and living in remote parts of Malaysia, while effectively addressing money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Bank Negara Malaysia also successfully collaborated with the World Bank and the money services business industry in Malaysia to pilot and adopt solutions that have expanded the reach and reduced the costs of formal remittances. Second, policy life cycles will need to be managed more proactively, to allow for policies to be renewed when conditions change. While much is often said about policy stability, policies that fail to keep pace with conditions that are changing far more rapidly than we have experienced before, can be counterproductive at best, and at worst, create greater risks for the system. The SDGs are undeniably one of the most comprehensive attempts to capture the most important global challenges that we face. Solutions to these challenges will invariably create new issues for policy makers to consider. This in turn will lead to shorter policy life cycles, and a need for faster policy responses to emerging issues. Third, we need better remittance data. It is encouraging that efforts are being taken to ensure the availability of official global data sources on remittance flows.
