Regulatory keynote speech at HKIB Annual Banking Conference 2026 by Arthur Yuen

On 25 September 2026, Delivered at the 2026 HKIB Annual Banking Conference, this HKMA regulatory‑update speech by Deputy Chief Executive Arthur Yuen covers four key themes: governing agentic AI by stressing that boards and senior management retain full accountability for AI‑driven actions despite tool‑based execution and tracking the expanding GenA.I. Sandbox++ cohort; advancing technology resilience by sustaining operational resilience in business‑as‑usual operations, managing AI‑fuelled cyber threats and steering the industry’s multi‑year post‑quantum cryptographic transition; developing trusted asset tokenisation via the DLT Supervisory Incubator Launchpad while exploring its interplay with AI agents; and fostering data excellence, noting high fintech adoption yet persistent high‑quality‑data challenges, rolling out the DataGRID framework and moving to Granular Data Reporting 3.0 for regulatory reporting, all under the overarching goal of re‑envisioning banking business models anchored on the core pillars of being accountable, resilient and trusted.
