EDITION 1 of 7 | ASEAN SPRINT 2026
From Regulatory Intent to Financial Flows
28-29 July 2026 | Manila
The Philippines is one of Asia's most adaptive fintech markets: a huge and growing remittance corridor driven by overseas Filipino workers, a deeply digital-savvy consumer base, and a sound regulatory architecture for open finance and inclusive payments already in place. The question now is how we scale, how we collectively turn these foundations into credit flowing to MSMEs, real-time payments reaching the unbanked, and AI-driven services that are both powerful and well governed.
It is for this reason that Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Global Finance & Technology Network are jointly convening the GFTN Select Series Philippines. This exclusive, invitation-only gathering held under the Chatham House Rule is designed for candid, collaborative, peer-to-peer dialogue.
