Annual Banking Law Update (ABLU)

The Annual Banking Law Update (ABLU) is the flagship project of the Centre. It has two components: namely, a conference proceeding and a peer-reviewed book based on the conference proceeding. Contributions at ABLU conferences are typically presented by a healthy mix of (local and international) legal practitioners, banking and finance professionals as well as academics. Consequently, ABLU books have gained a reputation for providing analytical and practical perspectives on key legal and regulatory developments relating to the banking industry. ABLU has been on the South African conference calendar for over three decades.

The ABLU books are available on this website under 鈥淧ublications鈥�.
