Policy20: Shaping the future of financial regulation in Asia

27-29 April 2027 | Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok

Asia’s defining moment in global financial regulation

As fintech innovation accelerates – from AI and CBDCs to digital assets and real-time payments – Asia stands at the heart of global regulatory crossroads. The region must seize this moment to shape its digital future, safeguard financial stability, and unlock inclusive growth across borders.

Policy20, hosted by Money20/20 Asia, is the premier regulatory summit convening global and regional policymakers, central bankers, regulators, and industry leaders. Through high-impact dialogue and strategic public-private partnerships, participants will confront the most pressing challenges in financial technology and explore actionable pathways to drive innovation, harmonisation, and resilience across the global financial system.
