HKMA Opens Talks With SFC and Insurance Authority to Drive Fintech 2030

HKMA frames the push as a way to pair innovation with stronger oversight.

Overview

  • Fintech 2030, unveiled in November, sets a five-year roadmap built around data, AI, resilience and tokenisation with more than 40 initiatives.
  • Project Noor is being developed as an AI model assessment framework for banking to help regulators and lenders manage model risk.
  • The Commercial Data Interchange will add government ‘golden source’ records and expand analytics to support practical use cases such as SME credit.
  • Banks and fund houses are being encouraged to use tokenised deposits in tokenised money market fund transactions.
  • HKMA is promoting cross-sector collaboration, citing an example of a bank working with a telecom provider on anti-fraud tools and calling for participation by technology firms and academia.
