The ABA Conference serves as a major platform for banking and finance professionals across Asia to discuss industry challenges, explore emerging opportunities, and exchange perspectives on the future of the financial sector.

This will be the second time that BML hosts the event, following its successful organisation of the conference in 2018. The bank described its renewed role as host as a reflection of its increasing influence and leadership within the regional financial landscape.

The 2026 conference is expected to gather chief executives, senior banking officials, and financial experts from ABA member countries. The programme will include panel discussions, workshops, and networking sessions addressing key issues and innovations in the banking and financial services industry.
