The venue of the offline meeting
After nearly a year, the lead and participating institutions of the seven research projects conducted studies on multiple topics in the Asian financial field, such as the industrial chain transfer in Southeast Asia and the development of the Asian offshore science and technology innovation bond market. At the meeting, the lead institutions of each project reported on the research results, and the review experts evaluated the project reports and put forward suggestions for modification and improvement. Based on this, they conducted a scoring review. Next, each research group will modify and improve the report content according to the review comments.

In 2025, AFCA will continue to effectively improve the quality of project research, conduct in - depth discussions on the development trends and challenges of the Asian financial market, and provide important references for formulating more effective policies and measures in the future.
