　　For example, Yang Xuan, the new vice president of the Bank of Guiyang, is a post-85s generation. Yang Xuan, who was born in August 1985, once worked at the Bank of China.

　　When it comes to talent mobility in the banking industry, Pan Helin, co-director and researcher of the Digital Economy and Financial Innovation Research Center of Zhejiang University International Business School, believes that banks will have higher personnel mobility in the future.

“Because the banking industry is currently in a period of change and under homogeneous competition, it is difficult for senior executives to help banks obtain resources through scale competition. Instead, they must work hard on compliance and digital finance to explore new banks. Sales channels." (End)
