In today’s edition of Market View, we talk about the current state of financial markets and opportunities for the fintech industry ahead of the Singapore FinTech Festival, which is slated to run from 6 to 8 November. 

Attended by over 66,000 participants from 150 countries in 2023, SFF 2024, will feature over 950 speakers across 7 stages. They range from global central bankers, regulators, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and more.
