Bangkok--24 Sep--IDC
IDC Financial Insights returns to Thailand for the 3rd Thailand Financial Services Summit on 9 October 2014 at Conrad Hotel Bangkok.
Asia’s rise in economic prominence has always been inevitable – but its speed and extent was something few expected. The financial sectors in South and Southeast Asia will experience the highest levels of growth over the next five years. This is buoyed by initiatives for financial market liberalization in Thailand, as well as for greater focus on bringing the right mix of financial services products to customers.
IDC Financial Insights believe that innovation will play a key role in brand differentiation and the most competitive markets – China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand – will account for four out of every five transformation projects, and 66% of total Asia/Pacific IT investments in 2014.
"Our upcoming Financial Services Summit will see speakers highlight prominent banking trends in the Thailand emerging market, focusing on the technological and competitive drivers that are keeping this boomtown economy buoyant. Thai banks are already busy shaping their business agendas by focusing on lending growth especially for the credit-ready micro-segment, customer-centric designs to raise retail deposits, innovations to their existing B2B and B2C payments systems, and developing IT infrastructure optimization plans that support an intra-Asian growth strategy," says Michael Araneta, Research Director IDC Financial Insights Asia/Pacific and Head of IDC Thailand.
Delegates at the summit will participate in high-impact discussions administered by IDC Financial Insights' team of experts to not only make sense of the trends that define the country's financial services, as well as the industry's foremost thought-leaders, innovators and practitioners to assess the shifting financial landscape:
· Tongurai Limpiti, Deputy Governor, Bank of Thailand
· Philip Tan, President, Executive Director, Krungsri
· Lee Volante, Director Business Solutions Group, Temenos Asia Pacific
· Frank Krings, Chief Country Officer, Deutsche Bank Thailand
· Banesh Prabhu, SEVP, Group Head Technology & Operations, Siam Commercial Bank
