Speech by SEACEN Centre Executive Director Dr Cynyoung Park

The 62nd SEACEN Governors’ Conference convened in Vientiane, Lao PDR on 12 November 2026 bringing together member central bank Governors, senior officials, and distinguished speakers for high-level policy dialogue.

Held under the theme “Asian Central Banks in a Rewiring World: Navigating Fractured Flows and Global Imbalances,” discussions explored how Asia can safeguard financial stability and sustain growth amid geopolitical fragmentation. Sessions focused on deepening capital markets, enhancing cross-border connectivity, and mobilising regional savings to support sustainable investment.

The conference reinforced the importance of regional cooperation and a shared commitment to building resilient and inclusive financial systems.

SEACEN extends its sincere appreciation to the Bank of the Lao PDR for hosting the conference, and to all speakers and delegates for their valuable contributions.
