Employees of the banking sector celebrate December 4 every year International Bank Day. It was introduced by the UN General Assembly in 2019 based on the adopted resolution 74/245. In this way, the significant contribution of world banks to improving the level of income and living conditions of various national communities is noted.

An important factor is the participation of financial institutions in the long-term Sustainable Development Program. The key principles of this program are overcoming poverty, social and property inequality, fighting global environmental problems. Banking structures play an important role in the program of sustainable development, because they invest financial resources in the implementation of long-term projects of a global scale, regardless of the instability and variability of the global financial system.
