The Seminar
In the post-pandemic era, Fintech is a key growth engine for the financial industry. In June 2021, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced “Fintech 2025”, its new strategy for driving fintech development of Hong Kong. The strategy aims to encourage the financial sector to adopt technology comprehensively by 2025, as well as to promote the provision of fair and efficient financial services for the benefit of Hong Kong citizens and the economy. In this webinar, Mr. Nelson Chow will start by sharing some key focus areas put forward in this strategy. Then, Prof. Chun Kwong Chan will have a fire-side chat with him to further explore the commonly interested areas, such as Commercial Data Interchange (CDI), Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and FinTech Supervisory Sandbox 3.0.
The Series
The CUHK FinTech Seminar Series is co-organized by the CEFAR Academy and the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business (APIB). Industry practitioners are invited to share their areas of expertise. We see the advantage of bringing together the academia and industry experts, providing a platform to carry out fruitful and productive discussions, encourage the exchange of ideas and promote future collaboration opportunities. CUHK students may also widen their exposure and receive some enlightenment in their career development.
