EBG and UVG Partner to Introduce New Risk Management Program in Guatemala

Escuela Bancaria de Guatemala (EBG) and the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala (UVG) have announced the launch of a new Diploma in Integrated Risk Management, an academic initiative designed to strengthen strategic decision-making and institutional sustainability in Guatemala and across the region.

Rising financial and technological risks

Organizations today face a growing range of financial, operational, technological, and reputational threats. Risks related to cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, market volatility, and increasingly complex digital environments have made integrated risk management a top priority for financial institutions, corporations, and public and private organizations.

This evolving risk landscape demands professionals who are equipped to anticipate, assess, and mitigate threats in a structured and strategic way.

A strategic academic alliance

In response, EBG and UVG have formed a strategic alliance that combines specialized training from the banking sector with academic excellence at the university level.

This partnership offers a program that integrates theory, practical application, and international best practices in risk management, providing participants with tools aligned with global standards in the field.

Strengthening leadership and institutional sustainability

Through this academic proposal, EBG and UVG reaffirm their commitment to developing ethical, critical, and well-prepared professionals capable of anticipating risks and supporting long-term organizational resilience.

The diploma program aims to contribute to the strengthening of Guatemala’s financial and business systems by fostering informed leadership and sound risk governance across sectors.
