Sibos, a major global financial services event, today announces that the Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore together with CEOs of Singapore’s three local banks, namely DBS group, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC Bank) and United Overseas Bank (UOB), will be featured speakers at Sibos 2015 Singapore. Senior executives from the Singapore Exchange and The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) will also be speaking and present as exhibitors representing the Singapore banking and financial industry.
The annual Sibos conference, exhibition and networking event organised by SWIFT for the global financial industry is held in different cities around the world each year. Sibos 2013 was held in Dubai while Sibos 2014 was in Boston. Sibos is returning to Singapore for the first time since 2003 as the city celebrates its 50th year of independence. Singapore is one of the most innovative financial centres in the Asia Pacific region on the Global Innovation Index 2014 (GII), ranking the city at number seven in the world and the leading Asia Pacific nation.
Mrs Ong-Ang Ai Boon, Director, ABS in Singapore, said: “The ABS welcomes the return of Sibos to Singapore this year as a catalyst to gather the Asian banking and financial community at this annual occasion. In particular, we are excited about the ASEAN Day programme; because it provides a good opportunity for the ASEAN banking and financial community to share their insights on economic integration and discuss ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) as a growing reality.”
Since its inception in 1967, the economic significance of ASEAN has developed into a major economic powerhouse with rapid developments in global regulation, compliance and technology. With the introduction of ASEAN Day on the Sibos agenda on 15 October, SWIFT aims to provide a one-day forum for compliance business leaders, central banks, and technology professionals to engage, share and shape the big issue debate on the future of ASEAN.
“ASEAN is expected to remain one of the fastest growing regions in the world and by selecting Singapore as the host city for Sibos 2015, it provides a great opportunity to showcase the region to the entire SWIFT community. Delegates can expect to experience lively discussions from ASEAN leaders around the vibrancy of ASEAN; amidst the global landscape of G3 economies in recovery and the growth of China at a controlled pace,” says Eddie Haddad, Managing Director, Asia Pacific at SWIFT.
