Asian Banker Financial Market Awards 2023 | The Asian Banker | 24 March 2023 | TBA

The Asian Banker Financial Markets Awards is a landmark recognition programme to benchmark institutional leadership and performance in the both the regulated markets and exchanges landscape of Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa regions.

Global financial markets are undergoing several global transformations. Interest rates are rising while inflationary pressures remain, and the era of easy money is over. Cracks have been appearing in the recent market downturn, but despite the turmoil in digital assets, the impact on the overall banking system remains marginal. In addition, digitisation and democratisation have been reshaping banking and capital market. According to the World Economic Forum, both investors and corporate issuers have changing needs and expectations, and a range of new actors are joining traditional financial institutions to meet this demand. This year’s programme will pay attention to how institutions have been adjusting to those developments.
