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. 

Given the ongoing artificial intelligence boom, this year’s event would examine the transformative potential of AI and quantum computing in revolutionising financial services and delivering sustainable and inclusive economic growth. It will also turn the spotlight on the role of FinTech in spearheading sustainable finance. 

James Cheo, Chief Investment Officer, Southeast Asia and India at HSBC Global Private Banking and Wealth, as well as Shadab Taiyabi, President of Singapore FinTech Association joined The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian in the studio to give a taster of Singapore’s fintech story, the current market situation, how investors should invest in fintech, and what to watch at SFF 2024.
