The conference will explore the changing nature of banking, money, and financial intermediation, aiming to delve deep into these topics and without getting side-tracked by hype. The event will feature a distinguished line-up of speakers from leading financial institutions around the world.
Information and communication technologies have been the foundation of financial services for decades. More recently, the digitization of information has proliferated in all areas of human activity, creating new vast pools of data. This has created opportunities and challenges for both incumbent institutions and new market entrants. Great benefits are attainable, but new risks may also emerge. New technology enables competition, and innovation can lead to better and cheaper financial services. However, it is not clear that welfare benefits can be maximized without policy interventions. Financial regulation and supervision can be a catalyst, but are also needed for safeguarding the financial system against risks.
