ZURICH and SINGAPORE , May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- High-ranking decision-makers made up of policymakers, regulators and business leaders from the financial world will discuss the use of artificial intelligence (AI), digital assets and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) technologies for sustainable and efficient financial services at the second Point Zero Forum in Zurich from 26-28 June. The Forum will be jointly opened by Swiss Federal Councillor and Head of the Federal Department of Finance, Karin Keller-Sutter, and Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies, Heng Swee Keat.
The recent turmoil in the financial markets has shown the importance of trust and stability to enable continued innovation and sustainability in the financial sector. The second edition of the Point Zero Forum will provide a unique opportunity for an exchange of views on future challenges facing the financial sector, with the presence of around 1,000 high-level decision-makers from central banks, policymakers and regulators, as well as innovative financial companies.

Cooperation between Switzerland and Singapore
The Point Zero Forum is jointly organised by the Swiss State Secretariat for International Financial Matters (SIF) and Elevandi, a company set up by MAS.
Daniela Stoffel, State Secretary for International Finance at the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, said: "The upcoming forum in Zurich will bring together all stakeholders and show concrete ways in which technological innovation can help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals while strengthening the competitiveness of the financial sector."
Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of MAS and Chairman of the Board, Elevandi, said "The financial sector is undergoing an interesting shift. Emerging financial technologies are moving from the experimental stage to either leapfrog, as in the case of AI, or get repositioned in areas like digital assets. This transition brings regulatory and policy choices to the forefront, which must be made as the sector scales. The Forum is a timely gathering to navigate the policy considerations affecting this shift."
