Since 1981, the Asian Bankers Association (ABA) has been the premier platform for Asian banks. ABA is the ideal forum to network, conceive deals, share know-how, and advocate bankers' interest nationally and internationally. ABA groups over 70 of the largest leading commercial banks and financial institutions in Asia Pacific with the objectives of exploring banking opportunities in Asia Pacific and enhancing the role of bankers in the economic development of the Asia Pacific region We achieve these goals by organizing annual conferences, discussing with regulators, establishing alliances, advocating banking policies, publishing newsletters and journals, and training banking leaders.
