The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:

     The Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF) announced the admission of 21 senior executives for the Financial Leaders Programme (FLP) 2024 today (March 27). The 21 participants come from a diverse spectrum of financial sub-sectors including banking, insurance, securities and asset management, professional services, fintech and financial regulatory bodies.

     The AoF launched the FLP in 2022, with the aim to inspire and nurture the next generation of senior financial leaders for Hong Kong, equipping them with a mindset to lead, enhancing their understanding of financial issues from macro and systemic perspectives, as well as expanding their professional network. 
      
     The FLP offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage in dialogue with top leaders in financial services and other sectors. Each year, the FLP admits around 20 promising financial talents from a diverse background at approximately two levels below the CEO position. It is conducted on a part-time basis and lasts for about nine months. So far, 42 participants have graduated from the FLP. 
      
     The 2024 Programme was open for application between November 15 and December 17, 2023, receiving enthusiastic response and a number of high-quality applications. Following a competitive selection process, the Membership Committee of the AoF approved the admission of 21 applicants.
