What an exhilarating start to the ASEAN Bankers Association Permanent Committee on Inter-Regional Relations’ Study Tour 2025 to Hong Kong! On 28 August, we kicked off our adventure at the iconic Hong Kong Exchange, where the excitement was electric! Participants from 8 ASEAN countries gathered to dive into the dynamic worlds of financial hub and sustainability. Discussions were buzzing around Hong Kong as the international finance center and sustainable banking practices—who knew learning could be so much fun?

At ZA Bank and the Hong Kong Cyberport, our networking sessions turned into vibrant brainstorming hubs, where ideas flowed freely, and learning from these fintechs on digital transformation was exhilarating. The energy in the room was contagious, and we hope to see these connections accelerate to financial inclusion through innovative technology! Let’s keep the momentum going!

The delegation was led by Mr Paul Gwee (Secretary General of ABA), Mr Shan Sutheshan (Chair of ASEAN IRR) and Dr Amina Josetta Kayani (Executive Director, ABM).
