Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the main drivers of growth for countries worldwide. Getting access to finance and using it effectively remains a constraint for MSMEs to grow. In this session, some of the leading global investors in MSME financing will take a critical look at the state of the market and propose strategies for scaling up high-impact initiatives. Some highlights include:

  • Trends in MSME financing in the region

  • How to enable growth for enterprises throughout the region?

  • What players are instrumental in growing a burgeoning MSME market?

Plenary Session: Disruptive Innovations and Trends in Asia’s Financial Markets

On Day 2 of the Forum, we look at the disruptive innovations and trends in Asia’s Financial Markets. Beyond the benefits of innovations, the session discussions will be around what innovation in finance or technology promises for financial inclusion. Some answers of key questions to look out for are:

  • How to shake up and wake up new markets or market segments?

  • Innovation from within or will start-ups be at the forefront?

  • Can we align the efforts of stakeholders?
