Finance 2024 - Vietnam | The Asian Banker | 17 July 2024 | TBA, Thailand

Amid global economic challenges, Vietnam aims for stability, setting a 2024 gross domestic product (GDP) target of 5-5.5%. This aligns with the World Bank's forecast of 5.5% growth in 2024 and 6% in 2025. Vietnamese financial institutions (FIs) remain agile in their digital transformation, providing personalised solutions through advanced channels, and unbundling traditional value chains to meet customer needs.

To stay competitive, financial institutions (FIs) are boosting digitalisation by strategically transforming backend operations and technology infrastructure. They leverage artificial intelligence (AI), application programming interface (API), and robotic process automation (RPA) for data-driven decision-making, enhanced insights, and operational efficiency.

A data-centric strategy streamlines operations, cuts costs, and boosts revenue through innovative products and services. To gain a competitive edge and capture a larger market share, FIs must adopt a holistic transformation.

Key focus areas include:
• Strategic partnerships between FIs and fintechs to promote financial inclusion
• Cognitive and hyperconnected banking
• Building a secure and resilient cloud infrastructure
• Key trends shaping the future of digital payments
• Challenges in building a secure, inclusive, and data-driven financial ecosystem

Who will attend?
• CEOs, business heads and senior executives of retail banking, wealth management, credit cards, consumer credit
• Senior executives of operations, technology, systems, and methods
• Senior executives of risk management, controls, and business development
• Regional managers, branch managers, heads of marketing and distribution
