The IIF was excited to be back in Australia for the 2025 IIF Australia Forum that was held on Thursday, March 13 in Sydney, Australia.

The forum was once again graciously hosted by Westpac and brought together senior financial services executives from the private and public sectors for interactive panel discussions and conversations. This in-person event included timely sessions on Australia's economic, policy and regulatory outlook; the impact of 2024's elections in the U.S. and globally on the region and on relations with China; and how advances in digital finance and sustainable finance will redefine the path forward for financial institutions.
