FBA EAC supports the III Euro-Asian Financial and Economic Forum "EAEFF — Khorgos-2026" and Invites You to Participate

From October 15 to 17, 2026, Khorgos will host the III Euro-Asian Financial and Economic Forum (EAEFF) , an international event designed to foster dialogue among financial institutions, government bodies, investors, technology companies, and the real sector of the Eurasian economy. The forum is organized by the Association of Banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the support of the Akimats of the Jetisu and Almaty regions.

1 Khorgos is the largest dry port in Central Asia, a strategic hub on the shortest China–Central Asia–Europe route, and a key platform for the Belt and Road Initiative. The bulk of mutual trade and cargo traffic passes through Khorgos, while the special regime of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and comprehensive state support make the territory highly attractive for long-term investments. As noted by the President of the Association of Banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Bakhytbek Baiseitov, Khorgos is a "point of physical contact between two giant markets": the EAEU market and the Asian economy, primarily China.

The forum in Khorgos is positioned as a practical tool for facilitating deals, forging partnerships, and accessing capital. It brings together banks, development institutions, investment funds, technology companies, and regulators from Kazakhstan, China, and Central Asia. Participation is particularly relevant for:
  • Banks and fintech companies seeking partnerships and cross-border settlement solutions;
  • Exporters and industrial enterprises aiming to enter the Chinese and Central Asian markets;
  • Investors looking for access to SEZ and infrastructure projects;
  • Logistics operators striving to optimize and reduce costs.

The business program focuses on five thematic tracks:
  1. Future Finance (digital banking, Open Banking, CBDC, cross-border payments);
  2. Artificial Intelligence (generative AI, intelligent data analytics);
  3. Digital Trade (marketplaces, blockchain infrastructure, digital identity);
  4. Next-Generation Logistics (digital transport corridors, automation of cargo transportation, smart warehouses);
  5. Cybersecurity (data protection, digital sovereignty, fraud prevention).

Program

October 15: Arrival of participants,hotel check-in, and welcome dinner.

October 16: Plenary session, panel discussions, thematic sections, B2B and B2G meetings, digital solutions exhibition, agreement signings, investment presentations, adoption of the forum’s final resolution, gala dinner, and honoring of partners.
