HONG KONG, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) this morning opened the 4th ASEAN+3 Economic Cooperation and Financial Stability Forum (AMRO Forum) in Hong Kong, China, co-organized this year with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Set against a global environment marked by shifting alignments and growing fragmentation, this Forum has gathered senior policymakers, economic experts, and thought leaders across the ASEAN+3 region and beyond to deliberate on how to safeguard financial stability, strengthen macro-financial resilience, and drive sustainable long-term prosperity. Under the theme Fragmentation to Resilience: Macro-financial Stability and Regional Integration in ASEAN+3, the event has called for deeper regional cooperation to navigate rising fragmentation and uncertainty. AMRO Director/CEO Yasuto Watanabe opened the Forum alongside HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue and BIS Chief Representative for Asia and the Pacific Tao Zhang. Mr. Watanabe said: "Amid global fragmentation, the architecture of interconnection needs to evolve. To anchor resilience, ASEAN+3 region must act together to strengthen integration, reinforce our financial frameworks, and ensure that the region remains adaptable, diversified, and capable of absorbing shocks." Mr. Yue of the HKMA said: "Through enhanced regional collaboration and integration, ASEAN+3 economies have strengthened their resilience to shocks amid a challenging external environment. I am confident that the discussions today—on macroeconomic risks, on the shifting global financial landscape, and on the priorities for cooperation—will yield valuable insights that will guide our collective efforts in the years to come." With a focus on issues facing Asian central banks, Mr. Zhang of the BIS highlighted that "close cooperation among central banks and between the public and private sectors, both within the region and beyond, is essential to withstand economic risks. Today's forum provides a valuable opportunity for all of us to exchange insights, deepen common understanding, and collectively reflect on the region's policy priorities," he said. The Forum program features two major sessions: Session 1: Macroeconomic Risks and Regional Integration Amid Global Fragmentation Keynote speakers are Heiwai Tang (Director, Asia Global Institute, The University of Hong Kong) and Barry Eichengreen (Distinguished Professor, University of California, Berkeley).
