Bank Negara Malaysia published highlights of MyFintech Week 2025, a four-day finance and innovation event co-organised with Securities Commission Malaysia and industry bodies, bringing together regulators, financial institutions, digital banks, fintech firms, technology providers, policymakers, investors and academia. The programme frames discussion around digitalisation, sustainability and demographic shifts, structured across three tracks covering a digitally enabled financial system, sustainability and social impact, and financial system resilience. The release points to generative AI and blockchain as reshaping business models and consumer expectations, Malaysia’s net-zero commitment as driving demand for innovative financial solutions, and population ageing as reinforcing the need for inclusive long-term welfare, healthcare and social protection policies. Agenda items include sessions on open finance, digital assets, sustainable finance, asset tokenisation, generative AI and cybersecurity resilience, alongside a flagship panel with Bank Negara Malaysia, Securities Commission Malaysia, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Monetary Authority of Singapore focused on balancing innovation with consumer trust and cross-border policy coherence. Securities Commission Malaysia’s Executive Chairman also referenced an iterative approach to crypto asset regulation and outlined work on a next iteration of Malaysia’s approach to digital assets, including facilitating blockchain use cases such as bond tokenisation. MyFintech Week 2025 runs from 4 to 7 August 2025 at Sasana Kijang and the AICB Centre of Excellence.
