HONG KONG, September 30, 2013 — Moody's Analytics (Moody's) — a division of Moody's Corporation — is pleased to announce that it has been selected by The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) as a strategic partner in implementing a rigorous eLearning training and simulation program for the bank's commercial lending staff. 

"It is a great privilege for us to partner with such a venerable policy bank in helping to raise competency levels across the organization," says Ari Lehavi, Head of Moody's Analytics' Training and Certification Division. "The bank's commitment to fostering a culture of risk awareness and competence is commendable and in line with best practice among leading institutions worldwide."

By deploying Moody's online training and simulations solutions, DBP seeks to ensure that its credit officers are better able to serve the needs of customers with a deeper understanding of their financial needs and risk profile.
