The Financial Times and The Banker will host the inaugural Banking Summit Asia in Hong Kong on 11 September 2025, at the Four Seasons hotel. The summit will be the first Asia edition of the flagship FT Live event, focusing on the region as it experiences growth, navigates geopolitical tensions and new disruptive technologies.
The one day summit will explore how financial leaders can deliver growth against a background of economic fragmentation and complex regulatory environment. The agenda will explore the region’s shifting investment landscape, the return of IPO activity in Hong Kong, the future of payments, wealth management and capital markets.
The summit will gather senior voices from global and regional banking, policy, and capital markets to examine the forces reshaping Asian finance.
Lead speakers include Arthur Yuen, Deputy CEO, Hong Kong Monetary Authority; Joseph Chan, Under Secretary at the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau; Kevin Sneader, President of Asia Pacific Ex-Japan, Goldman Sachs; and Serey Chea, Governor, National Bank of Cambodia.
Senior leaders from HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Mizuho Bank, Blackstone, J.P. Morgan, Citi and CTBC will also be speaking at the event.
Chief commercial officer and managing director APAC, Angela Mackay said: “We are delighted to stage the Banking Summit in Asia - a region where financial centres are still trying to recover, or set new paths, following the era of Covid. At the same time, across the Pacific, uncertainty about US interest rate and trade policy are obstacles to reaching this goal. At our summit, you will meet the leaders shaping today’s financial markets and hear how they navigate challenges while sustaining growth. Hong Kong is Asia’s most important financial hub connecting mainland China with the world, and we think there is no better place to host this event”.
