About IDC Financial Insights Innovation Awards
IDC Asia/Pacific proudly announces the winners of the 2025 Financial Insights Innovation Awards (FIIA), recognizing outstanding achievements by financial institutions that are shaping the future of banking, insurance, and capital markets through bold, technology-driven transformation.
This year’s FIIA winners reflect how Asia’s financial institutions are responding to rapid economic growth with digital acceleration. In 2024, Asia accounted for 63% of global GDP growth, and ASEAN markets are projected to grow nearly three times faster than advanced economies in 2025. To stay competitive, institutions are significantly increasing investments in artificial intelligence, automation, and cloud platforms. Digital transformation spending by Asia Pacific banks reached US$30.4 billion last year, and IDC expects this to grow to US$48.6 billion by 2027, led by software, data, and analytics initiatives.
