The global financial industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace against a background of uncertain economic outlook, changing geo-political landscape, technological advancement on all fronts, and ever-growing ESG demands. While Hong Kong’s global financial centre status will continue to benefit from the further development and reform of China, our financial leaders have to be well-prepared for the opportunities and challenges that will arise.
To further promote global thought leadership capabilities and to sustain the long-term development of the Hong Kong financial services industry, the Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF) has launched the Financial Leaders Programme to inspire Hong Kong’s future financial leaders. The 2024 Programme is open for application between 15 November and 17 December 2023.
