I had the pleasure of hosting and moderating Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)’ launch of the Financial Services Industry Transformation Map 2025.
DPM Lawrence Wong took us through the 5 main pillars of #ITM2025, highlighting the need to enable new models of digital finance, Singapore’s role in catalysing Asia’s transition to green, and a S$400 million investment to build our pipeline of local talent in finance. Big thank you to my panelists Kee Joo Wong (HSBC) deborah ho(BlackRock), Kwee Juan Han (DBS Bank), Andrew Yeo (Income) and Leong Sing Chiong (MAS) for an engaging and lively discussion on which components of the refreshed ITM resonated with you; as well as sharing your strategies to further strengthen Singapore’s leading position as a financial centre in Asia.
Hopefully by 2025, we will see Singapore’s financial services sector evolve into one that you all envision: an ‘inclusive, future-forward’, ‘most integrated and innovative’ centre that is a ‘force for good’ and where ‘financial literacy’ thrives!
