FMI and Fintech: Oversight and Innovation in Payments and Settlements
DATE
01 - 01 Jan, 1970
LOCATION
To Be Determined;
Why Attend?
In 2022, CBDCs, crypto assets and stablecoins are revolutionising payments. Traditional methods of settlement increasingly seem outdated. Innovation in financial technology is re-drawing the contours of the oversight landscape. New players, new risks, new products, new networks.
Central banks risk falling behind if they do not react to these new developments. The question for overseers is how to strike a balance between promoting innovation, encouraging competition and protecting the financial system.
This course is designed to equip central bankers to meet these challenges. Each day will feature three hours of expert-led Live Content to maximise the opportunity to share and learn. The chair will ensure participants have opportunities to network throughout the course, culminating in a workshop on practical implementation.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the key challenges FMIs are facing from fintech

- Apply network analytics to FMI design and oversight
