Securities Commission Malaysia published an update on MyFintech Week 2025, a four-day event co-organised with Bank Negara Malaysia and industry partners, focused on how digitalisation, sustainability and demographic shifts are reshaping finance. In the flagship panel on “Navigating the Fintech Frontier: Bridging Innovation and Regulation”, SC Executive Chairman Mohammad Faiz Azmi argued that regulatory clarity must be paired with agility, citing crypto asset regulation as requiring an iterative approach, and said the SC is advancing the next iteration of its approach to digital assets, including facilitating blockchain use cases such as bond tokenisation. The programme is structured around three thematic tracks covering a digitally enabled financial system, sustainability and social impact, and financial system resilience, and includes closed-door dialogues, masterclasses and focus sessions. Keynotes covered topics including cloud computing, artificial intelligence and open data, as well as cross-border mobile payment interoperability and the role of AI in digital payments; the regulatory panel brought together senior officials from Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore, moderated by the World Bank. Running from 4 to 7 August 2025 at Sasana Kijang and the AICB Centre of Excellence, the agenda also includes sessions on open finance, digital assets and sustainable finance, alongside deep dives on asset tokenisation, generative AI and cybersecurity resilience.
