Since the Global Financial Crisis, the financial markets are undergoing fundamental changes and banks and financial institutions are facing increased challenges through digital disruption, new technologies and new capital and regulatory standards amidst revenue and cost pressures.
This is especially relevant to the Treasury and markets function in banks, financial institutions and corporates who face a major challenge in how to stay ahead of the game. COVID has further accelerated the transition towards a more digital customer base and workforce but has created a world where growth prospects are highly challenged.
Whilst the market volatility seen in 2020 has generally benefited the financial markets business, there is an open question about how to align the cost base with revenue drivers for the next phase.
C suite leaders within our industry, more than ever before, need to carefully navigate their way through this tricky period by making important, strategic investment decisions today about their business, their people and their future. We are keenly aware of these challenges that the industry is facing and it is our intention that through the Asia Financial Markets Forum committee, we will organised a series of events on this ongoing theme of “The Asia Financial Markets in the next decade”.
The events will feature speakers and themes that will bring new insights and thought leadership that’s required to help our leaders of today and nurture the leaders of tomorrow. The topics will showcase the current opportunities and challenges within our business and will deliver content that is thoughtful and unique. These events would provide an opportunity for regional Financial Markets practitioners to come together and will bring them closer to the market leaders and decision-makers in the industry. It will also allow participants to strengthen relationships with existing clients and counter parties and develop new contacts and allow plenty of opportunity to network with industry stalwarts.
Our very first event will be held virtually, given we are still operating in a COVID world, on the 22 Jan 2021 from 1.30 pm to 5pm. This will be a prelude to our flagship event held in Oct 2021 which will be large-scale event spread over two days and will focus on the themes relevant to the Asian Financial Markets in the next decade.
For our virtual event in January the content will focus on the three important themes that we have identified which are:
Participants attending this forum are key professionals in the treasury and capital markets ecosystem including banks, regulators, buy side professionals, C suite members of the financial markets community and important intermediaries such as vendors and brokers and platform providers.
