[1/๐Ÿงต] @DigiEuro interviewed @moderndosh and @AntonyWelfare on the @Ripple #CBDC-Manager software.

The underlying private #CBDC-ledger based on #XRPL was also heavily discussed.

I summarized the most of the interview for you, along with my personal comments. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Welcome to the Ripple Digital Currency Manager
[2/19] To begin, if you are completely unfamiliar with #CBDCs and the #Ripple solution, here is a nice place to start:
[3/19] One important reason for using a private version of the public #XRPL is that a central #bank needs to be able to control the #money supply.

Why use a private ledger โ“

Extremely well-educated people with a scholarly inkling don't do well in the Third World.
Comparatively, professionals with average skill sets do much better in mediocre workplaces, because they communicate in a language which simple-minded colleagues & customers comprehend
I remember working with an office chap who only understood business transactions and outcomes in terms of bookkeeping and accounting entries.
His mind never went beyond management or financial accounting.
No lateral thinking at all!
He was later sacked by the Shareholders.
The biggest challenge comes when you are asked to do your job and also explain things to others to prove you are right to justify your worth.
This kind of job is the most stressful.
Teaching and training colleagues once in a while it is fine, but, 5 days a week, is not helpful.

Risk Management is not just about producing tons of reports that nobody wants to read in the office.
I am very angry to note that most of the #ERM/Risk Desks just produce day-end reports, which end up in the dustbin.
Risk Dept. should not be a tick the box function.
what is the point of preparing #VaR Reports, when the fund manager does not understand basic probability?
Rubbish!!
There is no point in hiring a world-class hard science PhD to do risk management work at financial institutions or elsewhere, if the board members have zero numeracy and data science skillsets, the staff in front and back offices have poor technical and academic backgrounds, etc

Basel I, II, III: evolution of global banking regulation via @YouTube
It was interesting to watch this discussion.
Even the participants agreed to the fact that Basel Accords are a complete exercise in futility.

There is an obscure problem when you join the BIG-4 Advisory or auditing, or consulting side of the profession within the services sector.
Most of the co-workers come from an #Accounting background, which makes things awfully difficult to communicate and interpret.
I remember working with an #Audit Expert, having a BIG-4 background.
The chap didn't understand anything except for debit, credit, and fraud risk.
The assignment required to be sophisticated Actuarial Finance, Mathematics, and Econometric Skill Sets to understand the GAPS.
Hence, the biggest problem in the Financial Risk Management, #ERM, Quantitative Risk Management, and other FE Financial Engineering related risk management processes, when working with a #BIG4 Firm, is the interaction with Accountants and Auditors who have their own Lingua Franca
