FinTech: community reference meeting - 5 Oct 2021

Developments in intelligent technologies are transforming financial products and services. Automated decision making plays an increasingly important role in the provision of financial services, fraud detection and credit audits. At the same time, consumer finance providers are relying on conversational AI agents that can engage directly with customers, and algorithmic trading, including high-frequency algorithmic trading, is shaping markets and driving policy.

These changes affect access and the cost of capital for individuals and companies. Consequently, in the long run, they may determine the development paths of countries and regions. Alongside new opportunities created by the advances in financial technology, numerous challenges are emerging that require a broad and multidisciplinary approach.
