The Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) as the chair of the Permanent Committee on ASEAN Inter-Regional Relations (IRR), after a survey done in March 2016 with members of the ASEAN Bankers Association, selected Tokyo, Japan as the venue for the 2016 study tour.
Twenty five delegates comprising senior bankers from nine ASEAN countries namely Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia participated in the study tour. The primary purpose of the study tour was to build and foster inter-regional relations with Japanese banks, industry associations and the banking and financial services industry.
The feedback from participants on the study tour to Tokyo was very positive. They found the study tour to be fruitful, enlightening and informative. It provided an excellent insight into the financial services industry in Tokyo as well as the recent developments and innovations in its banking sector.
Much appreciation goes out to various parties who made this study tour possible and a success, namely the delegates for their active participation and camaraderie, and to the gracious Japanese hosts for their warm hospitality and engaging sessions.
