With Malaysia’s capital market now at RM3.5 trillion, there is a unique opportunity to harness the power of markets in tackling some of the biggest economic, environmental, and social challenges of today…
But the clock is ticking with global markets being rapidly transformed by new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). The new landscape requires futureproofing our talent.
A whole greater than the sum of its parts?
At our conference, we will examine markets, technology and talent from three interrelated perspectives. Drawing lessons from history, we delve into the importance of embracing both new hardware in the form of technologies, and new software in the form of new ways of thinking about work, life and markets, and how this approach can drive Malaysia’s future success in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
Featured Session
Fireside Chat with Tan Sri Munir Majid
In this fireside chat, Tan Sri Munir Majid will share his high-level reflections on how Malaysia’s capital market has fared over the past 30 years, reviewing the key milestones in the development of the capital markets and how it has served Malaysia’s economy as well as its relevance vis-à-vis its regional and global peers, today.
Panel Session 2
Evolution of Technology & Impact on Markets
The rise of new technologies has proven time and time again that it will continue to threaten conventional and established industries. Lessons from history has also shown that embracing new technologies (hardware) will need to be complemented with new software or ways of thinking about work, lifestyles and markets.
Panel Session 1
Reimagining the Role of Markets
This session will explore the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving financial landscape and examine how the role of markets can be redefined to better meet society’s needs. The discussion will start off with re-think of how current debt-based capital markets may not be serving the real economy in terms of addressing environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
Panel Session 3
Talent – The Critical Lever in the AI Age
Like many highly regulated and traditional industries, the capital market industry is also faced with a dearth of young talent due to various factors. This session will focus on the challenges faced in attracting and retaining talent in the capital market and what efforts needs to be taken to promote the capital market as a viable career path.
