The ASEAN+3 Economic Cooperation and Financial Stability Forum, or AMRO Forum, is a platform for regional and global exchange of knowledge and ideas on economic cooperation and financial stability.

In its fourth edition, AMRO will co-organize the forum with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Bank for International Settlements (BIS), with a common goal of achieving macroeconomic and financial resilience and stability for the region.

This year’s theme is Fragmentation to Resilience: Macro-financial Stability and Regional Integration in ASEAN+3. The ASEAN+3 region is faced with challenge of safeguarding financial stability and strengthening macro-financial resilience while sustaining long-term prosperity. Although ASEAN+3 has made substantial progress in economic and financial cooperation over recent decades, the current global transformation demands even higher degree of collective action to navigate the changing international order.

The forum will discuss the near-term risks and challenges to the region’s macro-financial stability and outlook, and present solutions and initiatives to promote its medium to long-term economic growth journey. There will be two sessions, comprising keynote speeches and panel discussions.

Join us online on November 25, 2025!
