Hong Kong Academy of Finance’s 2025 intake of the Financial Leaders Programme is open for application

The Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF) announces that the 2025 intake of the Financial Leaders Programme (FLP) is open for application today (5 November). Designed for promising financial talents that are approximately two levels below the CEO position, the FLP offers a transformative experience that lasts approximately nine months on a part-time basis. The upcoming FLP will commence in April 2025.

The FLP has been running for three years and has received very positive feedback from various stakeholders.  With the support from the financial regulators in Hong Kong^[1] and the participating financial institutions, the FLP has successfully inspired and equipped the participants with the strategic mindset necessary to tackle complex challenges in today’s financial industry. Participants also benefited from engaging in high-level dialogues with top leaders across various sectors and expanding their professional networks.

Application will open between 5 November and 15 December 2024. Further information about the FLP, including feedback from past participants and the application form, are available from the AoF website.

Mr Eddie Yue, Chairman of the AoF and Chief Executive of the HKMA, said, “To strengthen Hong Kong’s position as an international financial centre amid this complex and ever-changing macro environment, we need to develop more financial leaders with global vision and leadership mindset to drive innovations and spearhead changes. The Financial Leaders Programme (FLP) has been running for two years and has received very positive feedback from the participating financial institutions, regulators, and cohort members. I strongly recommend the FLP and encourage our financial talents to seize the opportunity to join or nominate your promising staff to join.”
