About this session
As ASEAN's fintech ecosystem matures, a bigger question emerges: will the region's technological progress translate into lasting competitive advantage in the global financial system? The rules of competition are changing. AI is reshaping financial services, digital assets are challenging traditional infrastructure, and geopolitical realignments are redirecting capital, talent and financial flows. Meanwhile, regulatory divergence and competing national priorities are testing ambitions for greater regional integration. These shifts will create winners and losers. Some markets will emerge as centres for next-generation financial innovation and infrastructure, while others risk losing relevance. Established financial centres and business models may find their traditional advantages increasingly challenged. Bringing together presidents of leading fintech associations across Asia, this candid discussion moves beyond familiar calls for regional collaboration to examine the difficult strategic choices facing individual markets. Which competitive advantages will endure? Where will the next financial champions emerge? Can Asian economies strengthen their collective influence while competing for the same opportunities?
