Malaysian Finance Ministry.
In early 2019, the Malaysian Finance Ministry announced that the country is well on its way towards becoming a cashless society, with over 90% of Malaysians having access to online banking and local vendors at ease with digital wallet.This vision is shared by HWGG, who’s Labuan FSA licensed solutions already enable users to easily pay for products and services with digital assets. HWGG is working in line with the government’s efforts of turning the Federal Territory of Labuan into a fintech and blockchain hub. Commenting on this Tan said: “Since its adoption of blockchain technology, 25% of the world’s blockchain projects are currently underway in China. The country also holds the most number of patents on blockchain technology.” “With blockchain technology’s potential to level the playing field between developing and developed nations, Labuan has now taken its first major steps towards digital innovation following the launch of the HwgPayBlockchain Ecosystem.” The Malaysian government is also encouraging digitalisation in both private and public sectors as the country moves towards Industry 4.0. This is particularly poignant in light of the fact that the global economy is now digitally powered, and blockchain technology is rapidly driving innovation within the banking and manufacturing industries.
