-------------------------------------------------------------
The ASLI Banking & Finance Summit 2023, dual-themed “The Future of Finance” and “Financing the Sustainable Development Goals” is jointly organised by the Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute (ASLI), the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN-SDSN) and Sunway University, supported by various esteemed banking and financial institutions.
According to the UN’s 2023 Financing for Sustainable Development Report, while SDG financing needs are growing, the pace of the development of financing is not. The significant rise in food and energy prices, along with the swift tightening of financial conditions have heightened hunger and poverty levels, undoing the previous progress made towards achieving the SDGs. Without appropriate measures, the continuing disparity in financial access and resources will result in a lasting sustainable development gap. Hence, the importance of financing in the context of SDGs cannot be underestimated.
Additionally, demand for innovative financial products to fund everything from construction and development projects to community and local care needs, has led to an exciting albeit sometimes confusing and complex banking and finance landscape. Technological advancements, including Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies have catalysed the imagination of financial service providers and enabled new players to enter the industry, yet the boon also has a bane as there many unknowns.
As such, the ASLI Banking & Finance Summit 2023 aims gather top policy and private sector leaders and experts to discuss how to face the arising challenges while embracing the opportunities presented in this continuing journey towards achieving the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which aim to end poverty, protect our planet, and ensure prosperity for all.
