Fintech Seminar : A Glimpse at FinTech 2025
A Glimpse At FinTech 2025
In the post-pandemic era, Fintech is a key growth engine for the financial industry. In June 2021, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced “Fintech 2025”, its new strategy for driving fintech development of Hong Kong. The strategy aims to encourage the financial sector to adopt technology comprehensively by 2025, as well as to promote the provision of fair and efficient financial services for the benefit of Hong Kong citizens and the economy. In this webinar, Mr. Nelson Chow will start by sharing some key focus areas put forward in this strategy. Then, Prof. Chun Kwong Chan will have a fire-side chat with him to further explore the commonly interested areas, such as Commercial Data Interchange (CDI), Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and FinTech Supervisory Sandbox 3.0.
