Elvia Graverán Pacheco, General Director of Businesses received the medal and diploma that acknowledge her permanence in the banking sector for 40 years; Ibis Fernández Ortíz, director of Collections and Documentary Credits, received the medal for 35 years of work in the sector, while Emma Aimée Ferrán Hernández, General Director of Operations and Regla Domínguez Olmos, Director of Human Capital, were awarded the medals for 30 years of work.
At the end of the activity, dedicated to commemorate the Day of the Banking Worker, the president of BCC stated that despite its status as a blockaded country, Cuba has managed to establish a solid banking system, which has always been at the service of the Cuban people, and it has had to act in an adverse environment, due to the negative effect of the economic, commercial and financial blockade exerted by the government of the United States since the beginning of the Revolution and intensified in recent years.
Mrs.Martínez Castrillón emphasized that the banking system has continued implementing transformations for its improvement, and that it is successfully inserted in the computerization programs for the society, in the implementation of the electronic government, and in the development of products and services associated with the use of magnetic cards, among other lines of work.
The Minister said that the banks, in their role as public servants, work to implement efficiency and the culture of detail as a systematic practice, to help eliminate inertia, indolence, obstacles, bureaucracy and lack of sensitivity and revolutionary concern.
These transformations would not have been possible, she said, without the unconditional commitment of the human capital that the Cuban banking system has.
