Summary of the Virtual 37th ABA Conference
Some 1,000 representatives from banks, regulatory authorities, multilateral financial organization, the academe, and bank service providers registered for the 37th ABA Conference held virtually on 24-27 August 2021. It was the first annual gathering of the ABA conducted in an online format due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Carrying the theme “Asian Banks: Achieving Sustainable Growth in the New Normal”, the four-day online event was designed to provide another valuable platform for ABA members to meet to exchange views with invited speakers on: (a) current trends and developments in the regional and global markets that are expected to have a significant impact on the banking and financial sector of the region, and (b) how industry players can address the challenges – and take full advantage of the opportunities – presented by these developments.
