The forum brought together policymakers, regulators, investors, and industry leaders to discuss financial innovation, regional integration, and sustainable growth.
The 4th ASEAN Forum: The Future of Finance was held at The Rizqun International Hotel in Gadong, Brunei Darussalam, on 28 July. Organised by Asia Asset Management (AAM) in collaboration with the Brunei Institute of Leadership & Islamic Finance (BILIF), and supported by the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB), the forum was held under the theme “Innovation, Integration and Growth in an Age of Transition”.
The forum aimed to foster dialogue among policymakers, regulators, institutional investors, and industry leaders on innovative investment strategies, emerging opportunities in Islamic and digital finance, and strengthening ASEAN’s financial ecosystem through greater regional collaboration.
Delivering the keynote address, Brunei’s Minister of Finance II, H.E. Dato Seri Setia Dr. Awang Haji Mohd.
