MyFW 2025 offers a wide range of activities, including masterclasses, hackathons, and policy dialogues. The aim is to bring together financial leaders, regulators, and technology innovators to discuss key challenges and identify practical solutions for financial transformation.
Participants can expect real-time insights from a distinguished lineup of regional and global leaders. These include Dato’ Seri Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour, Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia; Dato’ Mohammad Faiz Azmi, Executive Chairman of the Securities Commission Malaysia; Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority; and Chia Der Jiun, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

This theme explores how technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and open finance are changing how financial services work. It will also look at efforts to build secure digital asset ecosystems, with a focus on regulatory alignment to encourage responsible innovation and trust.
This track highlights the expansion of Islamic finance and social finance as tools to deliver broader economic and social benefits. Sessions will cover how digital platforms are increasing access to climate finance and nature-based solutions, while promoting financial literacy and inclusive tools for underserved communities.
This section will focus on building a strong foundation for the fintech sector. Topics include cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and the development of a digitally skilled workforce. The agenda will emphasise the need for collaboration between industries and regulators to maintain stability and confidence in the financial system.
MyFintech Week 2025 is positioned as a central platform for promoting policy alignment and supporting nationwide fintech development. The event will drive cross-sector cooperation and support initiatives that encourage responsible innovation, financial inclusion, and ecosystem resilience.
