The financial services sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by fintech innovation, the emergence of digital banks, and the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in banking and financial services. These developments are creating new opportunities for financial inclusion, operational efficiency, and enhanced customer experiences. At the same time, they introduce complex challenges for regulators, including managing systemic risks, ensuring robust consumer protection, maintaining fair competition, and addressing ethical and operational considerations associated with AI deployment.
Central banks and supervisory authorities are increasingly tasked with balancing innovation and stability, adapting regulatory frameworks to new business models, and overseeing entities and players that operate at the intersection of technology and finance. The rapid pace of technological change makes it crucial for regulators to understand emerging risks, identify effective supervisory approaches, and learn from international experiences. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the regulatory landscape, equipping participants to navigate these challenges while fostering safe and responsible innovation.
