  • Anand Mukati, Country Head of Global Payment Solutions at HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad

The global executive agenda is split between two forces: geopolitical volatility (risk) and exponential technology (opportunity). This panel cuts through the noise, debating how financial leaders are balancing these twin pressures. We'll explore the real-world deployment of Agentic AI, its impact on corporate finance clients (CFOs, Treasurers), and the critical path for banks and technology partners to collaborate, ensuring efficiency and resilience in the face of macro change.
