In a recent conversation, Wai Lum Kwok, Senior Executive Director of Authorisation & Fintech at ADGM, shed light on how the UAE is shaping the global digital finance ecosystem.
Key Highlights from the Discussion:
- Balancing innovation with oversight: ADGM ensures that financial innovation thrives while maintaining investor trust and strong compliance standards. This reflects the same principles we emphasize in our Corporate Governance Services.
