Second AMRO-HKMA-ADBI Financial Leadership Training Program Held in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), in collaboration with the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), hosted the second Financial Leadership Training Program (Program) in Hong Kong. Building upon the success of its inaugural Program last year, this year’s Program took place from 26 to 29 August.  More than 40 senior representatives from central banks, ministries of finance and related government agencies in the ASEAN+3 member economies as well as international organisations participated in the Program.

The Program, designed to enhance participants’ capabilities in safeguarding regional macroeconomic and financial stability, provided a platform for attendees to engage in wide-ranging discussions on issues pertinent to the region, enhance their leadership skills, and deepen their professional knowledge.  During the Program, participants exchanged views with industry leaders, regulators and academia representatives on topical issues including local currency usage, recent market and regulatory developments in green and sustainable finance, as well as fintech, artificial intelligence and financial digitalisation.

Mr Darryl Chan, Deputy Chief Executive of the HKMA, said, “We are delighted to see the continued success of the Financial Leadership Training Program, which underscores our ongoing commitment to foster strong relationships with our Asian counterparts. I look forward to expanding our collaboration with neighbouring economies on areas of shared interest.”
