HKMA launches Project SAGE on agentic finance, names expert group

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has launched Project SAGE to support the responsible development and adoption of agentic finance in Hong Kong, as the regulator moves to formalise governance around AI systems that can act on users' behalf in financial services. In a press release dated 2 November 2026, the HKMA said Project SAGE stands for “Securing Agentic Finance with Governance and Enablement.” The authority said the initiative is intended to enable practical applications of agentic finance while ensuring that a governance framework is in place. It added that, as agentic AI technologies mature, the financial industry is moving beyond internal adoption to explore how AI agents may make financial services more efficient and secure.
