The Asian Bankers Association (ABA) is inviting you to join the 2025 Financial Times’ Banking Summit Asia being organized by Financial Times on 11 September 2025 in the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong.
INTRODUCTION
With Asian economies experiencing rapid growth, but also a huge shift in global trade dynamics, financial institutions are having to adapt to intensifying geopolitical tensions, financial uncertainty, regulatory divergence, and new technologies. The 2025 Financial Times’ Banking Summit Asia will explore and debate the latest challenges and opportunities driving banking forward in the region — from geopolitical change to technology in Asia’s most innovative hubs.
- How are financial leaders managing economic fragmentation, capital flows, and changing trade policies across Asia?
- Can traditional financial institutions in India and Japan compete with digital-native players and superapps?
- How will regulatory changes in ASEAN and Hong Kong shape the future of AI and automation in financial services?
Banking Summit Asia makes its debut in Hong Kong in 2025, bringing together a pan-Asian community of CEOs and CXOs, to explore and debate the latest challenges and opportunities driving banking forward in the region — from geopolitical change to technology in Asia’s most innovative hubs. We expect more than 250 participants and over 30 speakers.
Headline speakers include the Deputy Chief Executive of Hong Kong Monetary Authority; Hong Kong CEO and General Counsel for Asia, Barclays; Head of North Asia & CEO of DBS Bank Hong Kong; Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia; CEO Asia Pacific, Societe Generale; CEO and Head of Wholesale Banking APAC, ING, plus many more.
