Last week I had the privilege of co-hosting a roundtable with Jimmy Ng, Group Head Operations of DBS, during IBM's annual THINK event in Singapore. Shahid Syed, our APAC FSS Leader and Senior Partner, moderated the session and we were fortunate to be joined by senior executives from several leading financial institutions with presence across Asia. We had a fascinating discussion about generative AI and some of the biggest opportunities for business acceleration in the industry. Three dominant themes came to the forefront: 1. Asia Pac financial services organizations are aggressively pursuing pilots, proofs of concept and programs to leverage and scale generative AI strategically. 2. There is a congruence emerging around the most efficient way to deploy generative AI to maximize the benefits while mitigating the risks. 3. Fostering a virtuous loop of implementation, learning, and scaling generative AI is an imperative.   Thank you Shahariz Aziz, Suchat Sae-Lai, Rottapron Ekabutr, Fred Roteseree, Li Foon Lee, Ata Mohamed, Sai Tien Tan, Adeline Liew, Luis Carols Cruz Huertaz, Parthiban Venkatachalam, Manikandan A.P., Jimmy Ng, Shariq Khan, Geraldine Wong, Shiddhaarth Velamuri, Victor Korompis, Romil Sharma, David Koh, Janet Thomas and Mamata Paruchuri for your valuable contributions to our conversation.    My thanks also to IBMers Nitin Sharma, Urmez Daver, Rohit Sharma, Deva Deva K Theyventheran and Praveen Kumur Huddar for your participation and ongoing support of our banking and financial markets clients across the region.

RISING business costs, manpower shortages and the need for transformation ranked as the top concerns for Singapore’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), based on the latest annual survey by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) “Sentiment among respondents about this year’s business outlook is mixed,” said SCCCI president Kho Choon Keng, as he previewed key survey findings ahead of its full release later this year. Rising costs are the biggest concern in 2024, cited by 73 per cent of businesses, followed by manpower availability (54 per cent) and business transformation (37 per cent). The top two concerns remain the same as last year, but concerns over uncertain economic and political conditions abroad – which ranked among the top three in 2023 – did not make the list this year.

By investing in talent development, inclusive policies, robust digital infrastructure, and public-private partnerships, the nation has bridged the digital divide and fostered innovation.
