AI unfolds a new era in banking

Thailand's financial landscape is undergoing a dynamic transformation, driven by the Kingdom's focus on innovation and its ambition to become a global financial hub. The "Ignite Finance" initiative signals a strategic move to attract global financial institutions through future-ready regulations, next-generation incentives, and an empowered ecosystem. As Thailand's economy is projected to grow by 2.9% in 2025, fueled by recovering investment and tourism, the financial sector is poised for further expansion and innovation. Banks in Thailand are also preparing to migrate 50% of their new digital workloads to public cloud in the next five years to meet the digital demands.

The banking sector is seeing positive loan growth in 2025, emphasizing the need for traditional and non-traditional players to embrace digitization and emerging technologies to meet evolving customer demands and competitive pressures. Financial institutions are strategically investing in customer-centric digital transformation, enhancing core banking platforms, and strengthening data capabilities. An effective Agentic AI strategy, coupled with robust cybersecurity measures, will be crucial for banks to maintain trust and ensure sustainable growth.

Finance Thailand 2025 is the premier annual event uniting regulators, industry leaders, and innovators to explore these transformative trends and address the challenges and opportunities facing Thailand's financial services industry. This conference offers a unique platform to foster collaboration, share insights, and shape the future of finance in the digital age.
