Representing the DIV at the meeting were Mr Pham Bao Lam, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Ms Phan Thi Thanh Binh, Deputy General Director.
At the meeting, delegates approved the minutes of the previous APRC meeting held on November 24, 2025, in Lisbon, Portugal, and also updated information on changes and introduced new representatives of several deposit insurers in the APRC region.
A key item on the agenda was the election of the APRC Chairman. The chairperson election committee consisted of Mr Ariunbold Boldbaatar (DICOM) – Chairman, Mr Adil Utembayev (KDIF), and Ms Phan Thi Thanh Binh (DIV). According to the election committee's report, the candidacy of Dr Tien-Mu Huang, Chairman of the CDIC (Chinese Taipei), was reviewed and elected by the members at the meeting.
Mr Tien-Mu Huang joined APRC as the new representative of CDIC. He is an expert with extensive experience in financial management and supervision, having served as Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) in Chinese Taipei from 2020–2024, and has held many important leadership positions within Chinese Taipei's financial management system.
At the meeting, Ms Margaret Chuang, Chairperson of the Training and Assistance Technical Committee (TATC), presented the TATC's activity report. Accordingly, the TATC has refined the TATC section of the APRC semi-annual survey to better capture members’ areas of expertise aligned with specific Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems. The information collected will be consolidated to enhance the APRC Roster of Experts and facilitate the identification of potential resource and training needs for future APRC activities. The report also stated that the results of the APRC semi-annual survey, conducted in the second half of 2025, showed that issues related to deposit insurance payouts and bank resolution were the two areas with the greatest demand for technical assistance. Based on this, TATC will continue to connect with members in the region to promote technical assistance activities, and share the survey results with the IADI Secretariat to explore the possibility of connecting support with members outside the APRC region.
In addition, TATC provided information on plans to organise a webinar for APRC members in the first half of 2026 on environment, social and governance (ESG) and green deposits. Furthermore, CDIC plans to host a Crisis Preparedness Simulation Exercise in the second half of 2026 to enhance deposit insurers' crisis readiness. TATC will also collaborate with international organisations and training institutions within the region to support capacity-building activities.
During the meeting, delegates were also updated on reports from the IADI Secretariat and on IADI's upcoming activities. Ms. Eva Hüpkes – Secretary General of IADI – revealed IADI's priorities for 2026, including: continuing the review of the Core Principles Handbook; enhancing the adaptability of the deposit insurance system in the digital era to the impact of new technological and financial trends such as e-money, stablecoins, and AI; announcing the report “Deposit Insurance in 2025: Global Trends and Key Issues”; and outlining a five-year strategic plan for IADI.
The meeting also provided information on APRC's activities in 2026. Accordingly, the APRC Semi-Annual Survey will be conducted in March 2026 by the Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation (PIDM). PIDM will also host the 24th APRC Annual Meeting and International Conference, taking place from May 5th to 7th, 2026, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
