Top banker to discuss Asia-Pacific’s digitalization amidst global economic challenges
LOS ANGELES & LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#BankCEOs—CTBC Bank USA announced today that its President & CEO Noor Menai will speak at the FT Global Banking Summit on December 1 in London.
Menai will present on the “Banking in Asia – Leapfrogging traditional banking” panel, addressing if during the economic downturn Asia-Pacific biggest lenders will continue to aggressively digitalize their businesses. The discussion will gauge if Asia’s banks are on pace with the rest of the financial world in terms of digital transformation, and how they will confront the operational and reputational risks that come with digitalization. Menai will offer his view if the prospects of economic weakness will slow down digitization efforts or increase them.
In addition to Menai, other panelists on the Banking in Asia session will include Alicia García Herrero, Chief Economist, Asia Pacific, Natixis, and Dato Muzaffar Hisham, Group Chief Executive Officer, Global Banking, Maybank. The panel will be moderated by Kimberly Long, Asia Editor, The Banker.
The summit will bring together world-class business leaders, senior bankers, top regulators and academic authors to address how global banking will navigate a post-pandemic economy grappling with the highest inflation seen in decades, a war in Ukraine, increased pressure on net zero climate targets and an overall increase in shareholder activism.
Other confirmed speakers at the event will include:
Noel Quinn, Chief Executive Officer, HSBC
Dianne Dobbeck, Head of the Supervision Group, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Christian Sewing, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Bank
Colm Kelleher, Chairman, UBS
Charlie Nunn, Chief Executive Officer, Lloyd’s Banking Group
