Our partners led a delegation to the Asian Financial Forum 2026

Our partners participated in the Asian Financial Forum 2026 (AFF) and, on behalf of the World Alliance of International Financial Centers (WAIFC) and the Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council (FSDC), led a delegation from the financial centers of Busan, Casablanca, Doha, Dubai, Edinburgh, Kigali, Lagos, Luxembourg, London, Mauritius, and Nairobi to Hong Kong.

Besides attending the amazing program of the AFF, we met important stakeholders of the Hong Kong Financial Center for closed-door discussions with the delegation on the most relevant issues for Hong Kong and international financial centers:
– the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA),
– the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and
– the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB), Government of the Hong Kong SAR.

We discussed international collaboration, open banking, CBDCs and Stablecoins, Digital Assets, AI, cross-border data exchange, digital trade and trade finance, carbon credits, green bonds, talent, capital market infrastructure, financial education, fraud prevention, cybersecurity, and much more. Lots of food for thought for the group.

On the final day, we supported the FSDC in preparing a press conference and an investor roundtable for the Africa Roundtable of Financial Centers, a regional chapter of the World Alliance.
