The Hong Kong Academy of Finance ("AoF") has officially launched the application period for its 2026 intake of the Financial Leaders Programme ("FLP"), running from 12 November to 14 December 2025. The programme is specifically designed for senior financial executives positioned one to two levels below the CEO and aims to offer a transformative, part-time experience spanning nine months.
The FLP, which has garnered positive reviews since its inception in 2022, provides participants with the opportunity to interact with distinguished leaders and broaden their professional networks. It is set to begin in April 2026 and is backed by various financial regulators in Hong Kong, including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
Mr. Eddie Yue, Chairman of the AoF and Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, underscored the importance of cultivating future financial leaders with global perspectives and innovative thinking to enhance Hong Kong’s standing as a premier international financial hub.
Applications are currently open. Prospective candidates can access further details about the FLP, including feedback from previous participants and the application form, on the AoF’s website.
