The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) has opened a Hong Kong branch in a bid to provide education programs to the wider Asian market. CEO Joan Fitzpatrick told Sunrise Exchange News:  “The new branch is representative of the institute’s growing presence in Asia as the industry increasingly uses (our) internationally recognised education programs to raise professionalism across the region.”

A Hong Kong executive committee is being formed and registered with the HK authorities. An ANZIIF statement says “success in these endeavours will lead to the establishment of a staffed branch in the new future”.
