The Asian Banker Summit 2024 - Hong Kong | The Asian Banker | 21 March 2024 | TBA, Hong Kong

The financial services industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented transformation. Traditional norms are being rewritten, and the rules of the game are being redefined. Amidst a landscape of quantitative easing, global inflation, unsustainable debt, and geopolitical tensions, a wave of transformative trends is sweeping through the sector, challenging established institutions and creating new opportunities.

Key trends such as cybersecurity, decentralised finance (DeFi), and the increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping the sector. Concurrently, the industry is pivoting towards sustainable and inclusive financing, integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into core practices. Digitalisation is reshaping finance at an unprecedented pace, demanding institutions to provide effective cash management, liquidity solutions, treasury services, and supply chain financing. Instant cross-border payments alone are insufficient; today’s consumers seek transparency, traceability, and trust.

Who will attend?

• It is an exciting, all-inclusive annual gathering which is not about traditional banks, insurance and asset management players alone, but embraces all the new players in a whole array of supply chain and data driven technologies that are disintermediating the role of the traditional players and creating new business models, the implications of which we do not yet understand.

Decision makers and leaders at every level:

• Senior government officials and regulators in charge of financial development, economic transformation and regional cooperation
• Chairman, CEOs and board members of all players in finance, both traditional and challenger institutions
• Thought leaders, think tanks, experts, academic scholars, and researchers

Heads of businesses, particularly:

• Transaction Finance, Risk, Compliance, Retail, Product, Strategy and Customer Experience
• Technology, Operations, Data and Analytics
• Cybersecurity and Digital Channels
