Cannes, France — November 6, 2024: At the Elite Wealth Management Summit 2024, the global financial community witnessed an impressive presentation by Lakan Paul Infante Moñozca, the Chairman & CEO of Bangko of Maharlika, Ltd., dubbed as The Bank of Humanity. This major event brought together the world’s foremost banking and financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices to explore the latest trends and future directions in wealth management and economic sustainability.
Paul Moñozca was the featured speaker, focusing on the transformative potential of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and technological singularity within the banking and finance sector. His presentation underscored the ways in which advanced technologies could redefine traditional financial frameworks, with an emphasis on hybrid banking models and resource-based economic systems.
As a visionary committed to advancing universal basic income and sustainable development, Moñozca’s work aligns with a forward-thinking vision for global prosperity. The summit’s keynote address was delivered by the 9th Earl Spencer, brother of the late Princess Diana, who spoke on managing historical wealth amidst rapid globalization and technological evolution. Moñozca’s session built on these themes, drawing from his unique perspective as the first Filipino leader recognized internationally for his expertise in global financial systems and AGI.
Notably, this marks Moñozca’s second invitation to an elite European financial forum, with his initial participation in Montreux, Switzerland, in 2021. His leadership at the Bangko of Maharlika, Ltd emphasizes an innovative approach that ties financial inclusion with the principles of the Maharlika legacy, exemplified through initiatives like “Project Checkmate.” Watch the full presentation here and join the conversation on sustainable, tech-driven financial ecosystems
