Summary:During the past several years, the financial technology (Fintech) sector has grown quickly, revolutionising how individual access and manage financial services. The Fintech sector received a staggering $201 billion in investments in 2021, growing by 177% annually.

Can Singapore continue to draw in Fintech investment and maintain its position as the leading player in the region given the industry's rapid growth and the numerous difficulties it faces, including small market size, a limited talent pool, stringent government regulations, and risks like cybersecurity, regulatory and compliance issues, intellectual property theft, fraud, and money laundering?
