ALB HONG KONG REGULATORY SUMMIT 19 MARCH 2025 - HONG KONG Amid rapid economic digitisation and new technologies rapidly evolving, financial crime is becoming more sophisticated, posing an evergrowing threat as the damage goes well beyond the financial aspect. Global financial crimes in 2023 led to staggering estimated losses ranging from US$1.6 trillion to US$3.1 trillion, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime further estimates that 2-5% of global GDP—equivalent to up to US$2 trillion—is laundered annually. Hong Kong is not immune to this challenge. Recent statistics from the Hong Kong Police Force revealed over 19,000 cases of deception within just the first half of 2024, equating to 44% of the region’s total crime and resulting in a staggering HK$4.48 billion loss. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Ukraine, and the US-China relationship, this summit offers a timely platform for key industry players to navigate evolving regulatory expectations, discuss emerging compliance challenges, and share strategies to foster a robust culture of compliance. Topics covered will range from risk-based monitoring approaches that prioritise oversight in high-risk areas to the integration of AI in regulatory practices, aimed at enhancing efficiency in combating financial crime, money laundering, and terrorism financing.
