      A national strategy platform for financial innovation

      Each GFTN Select edition is a sovereign, invitation-only strategy dialogue - co-hosted with the national central bank, shaped entirely by the host country's priorities. Together, we move from policy to implementation.
      Two common threads connect them all, creating a regional intelligence layer greater than the sum of its parts.​

      Thread 1 - AI Governance in Financial Services
      Every edition includes a dedicated session.
      Cumulative output: The State of ASEAN AI Governance Report.
      Co-curated with ASEAN Bankers Association.

      Thread 2 - ASEAN-India Corridor
      Every edition includes a session on cross-border trade and payments connectivity between ASEAN and India.
      Focus: trade & MSME empowerment, digital infrastructure connectivity, cross-border payment interoperability.

      National Ownership

      The central bank co-hosts.
      The themes reflect the country's live regulatory priorities - not an imported agenda. ​GFTN provides the platform and  the global network.

      Closed-Door, Outcome-Driven

      12–15 decision-makers per roundtable. Chatham House Rule.
      No panels, no keynotes, no safe questions.  Every session is designed to produce a specific, actionable output.

      Connected Intelligence

      Each edition feeds a regional intelligence layer. Common themes - AI Governance, Cross-Border Corridors - are stress-tested market by market. ​Regional benchmarks built from seven sovereign conversations.
