The SME Finance Forum's "Fireside Chat" is a new series of one-on-one interviews with CEOs, senior executives of financial institutions and technology companies as well as financial sector regulators. 

 

In this edition, Judy Hsu, ASEAN and South Asia CEO for Standard Chartered Bank talks to Matthew Gamser, CEO of the SME Finance Forum about the impact of Covid-19 on the bank's business, and the adaptations they have made. She also discusses the future of SME banking, partnerships with FinTechs and e-commerce platforms, the importance of diversity to the business, and what it's like to be a woman at the top of a traditionally male-dominated industry.
