The Insurance Authority (IA) will host its annual flagship event, the Asian Insurance Forum (AIF), on 8 December 2023 under the theme “Striving for Enhanced Global Financial Stability and Resilience”. The full-day event will bring together brilliant minds from the insurance and financial industry, academia, financial regulators and Government authorities in Hong Kong and around the globe to exchange views on issues that shape the future of the insurance world and the financial sector.
AIF 2023 will showcase Hong Kong’s strengths as a risk management centre and explore the outlook and challenges of global financial markets. It will also feature discussions on trending topics including Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG); and Web3 development, focusing on how they can positively interact with the financial sector to promote a more stable and resilient financial system.
Mr John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), will grace the event and deliver a keynote speech in the morning session. Other keynote speakers include Mr Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR, who will address the audience at the luncheon, and Mr Jonathan Dixon, Secretary General of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), who will kick off the afternoon session with his keynote speech.
There will be four panel discussions pulling together international financial regulators, top industry leaders, academic experts and professional service providers to delve into – (1) advantages of Hong Kong as risk management centre, (2) a heatmap of global financial markets, (3) how ESG/DEI generates business values 1 and (4) synergies between insurance and Web3 development.
