The Twin Crises of 2026:
From Asset Leakage to Balance Sheet Resilience

A closed-door executive roundtable for senior banking leaders
navigating wealth erosion, lending pressure, and risk exposure.
📍 Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit | 📅 12 March | 🎯 Peer discussion

Why This Matters

Thai banking in 2026 is facing two connected pressures.

Thai banks are entering 2026 under two connected pressures. Wealth franchises face early, often invisible asset leakage to global platforms, while retail and SME lending portfolios are under strain from a fragile middle segment and rising balance-sheet pressure.

This is no longer about digital features. It is about protecting core profitability. Banks that act earlier through stronger risk segmentation and more precise customer–product matching are better positioned than those that respond after stress appears.

This closed-door roundtable brings senior leaders together to discuss:

Preventing asset leakage before it becomes visible

Shifting from reactive lending to scenario-based risk decisions

Reducing manual friction while strengthening balance-sheet resilience

Who Should Attend?

If your role involves protecting profitability rather than reporting it, this room is relevant.

1
Wealth Leaders
Heads of Wealth Management and Private Banking responsible for asset retention, client expectations, and scalable advisory models.
2
Lending Leaders
Heads of Retail, SME, Mortgages, and Credit focused on risk, affordability, and balance-sheet resilience.
3
Risk & Recovery Leaders
CROs and Heads of Recovery managing early warning, intervention timing, and portfolio stability.

OneConnect, together with Sabio World, is convening this closed-door discussion

to support peer exchange among senior Thai banking leaders.

Presentation: The Twin Crises of 2026: From Asset Leakage to Balance Sheet Resilience — Matthew Chen

Matthew Chen will outline the structural pressures shaping bank performance in 2026, based on observations across regional financial institutions. This is to frame the operating decisions leaders will need to confront in the discussion that follows.

12:05 PM – 1:30 PM

Moderated Peer Discussion & Lunch — Dr. Chatchai Thnarudee

Dr. Chatchai will guide a structured peer exchange across wealth, lending, risk, and technology leadership, drawing on his experience advising financial institutions and regulators.

The discussion will focus on real operating decisions — identifying early asset leakage, determining when risk posture should shift, and balancing efficiency initiatives with balance-sheet resilience — so participants leave with clearer decision approaches rather than general viewpoints.
