As the world emerges from the shadow of COVID-19, questions are being asked about how the world’s economy should be ‘built back better’. Should we seek to rebuild our economic and financial systems that drove growth and development before the pandemic, or should we build something new?

To this end, policymakers, financial centre leaders, regulators, and financial services providers need to work together to create the bridges for collaborative action. Additionally, IFCs play vital leadership roles in pushing innovation, regulation standards and benchmarking.

This webinar shares the research findings from a report jointly issued by Labuan IBFC and Z/Yen Group entitled “International Financial Centres: Facilitating Financial Inclusion via Digitalisation”, and discusses the opportunities and challenges for financial players as IFCs move cohesively towards financial inclusion.
