The Conversations Shaping 2026
THE FUTURE FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE
The foundations of the global financial system are being reengineered. This theme explores how policymakers, regulators and industry leaders are shaping interoperable rules, resilient infrastructure and public-private collaboration to enable secure innovation, financial stability, inclusion and scalable growth across borders.
TRUST BY DESIGN
Trust is the foundation of modern finance. As financial services become increasingly digital and interconnected, resilience, cybersecurity and operational readiness have become essential to financial stability. Protecting the systems, data and decisions that power the financial ecosystem is essential to maintaining confidence, ensuring continuity and adapting to a complex digital landscape.
AUTONOMOUS FINANCE

Discover how AI is transforming institutions into intelligent, self-directing platforms that operate in real time, orchestrate ecosystems and redefine how financial value is created, delivered and scaled toward 2030 and beyond.
EMPOWERED FINANCE
Financial readiness is the foundation of lasting prosperity. As the financial landscape becomes more complex and interconnected, financial capability is emerging as the next frontier. Equipping individuals, businesses and economies with the knowledge, tools and confidence to adapt, participate and thrive. Empowering financial capability is essential to building resilience, expanding opportunity and enabling inclusive economic growth.
THE NEXT ERA OF PAYMENTS
The next era of payments is being built around trust, interoperability and real-time connectivity. The convergence of platforms, data and payment infrastructure is transforming how financial services are accessed, delivered and monetized, creating new opportunities for innovation and growth.
THE FUTURE OF CAPITAL
The Future of Capital explores how money is being redefined, redistributed, and re-engineered in a world where capital is no longer just financial, but digital, programmable, and geopolitical. As technology, policy, and markets converge, new actors are shaping how capital moves, who accesses it, and what it builds next. We examine the power shifts reshaping global finance, and those who sit at the centre of capital’s next era.
