This course provides detailed insights into contemporary financial regulation, reflecting the increasing digitisation and structural changes of the wholesale and retail financial sectors.
The evolving landscape of financial services, now increasingly digital and intertwined with offerings from non-traditional players like tech giants, leverages breakthrough technologies such as AI, Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Blockchain/DLT. While these advancements redefine the market dynamics, the core functions and regulatory principles of financial products and services remain fundamentally unaltered.
This course offers a dynamic exploration of the current and emerging regulatory frameworks guiding Digital Finance or FinTech. It closely examines how laws and regulations across key markets, including the UK, EU, and US, are adapting, striving for a balance between fostering innovation and mitigating risks.
With a global perspective, the course draws extensively from standards established by international committees (FSB, Basel, CPMI, etc.) and the regulatory practices in the UK and EU. Comparative insights into other significant jurisdictions, such as the PRC and USA, are also provided, without delving into the minutiae of any one region.
This interactive and practice-oriented course is designed to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory environment shaping the future of digital finance.
