An invitation to workshops on the ongoing technological revolution in financial regulation and the opportunities for the insurance industry. Response deadline April 30th to D.Mcnulty@lboro.ac.uk
A global regulatory revolution: at the starting blocks. Central to the ongoing wave of innovation in financial services are applications of fintech in regulation and supervision (“regtech”,”suptech”). Regulators world-wide are accepting the need for employing technology to contain compliance costs of current regulation and while obtaining the necessary transparency of financial activities for effective oversight.

The European Banking Authority has recently launched a consultation on integrated reporting based on digital technologies. Regtech and suptech are also of central interest to the European Insurance regulator (see EIOPA (2020) Supervisory Technology Strategy). In the US the FDIC launched last year a technology competition “FDIC Launches Competition to Modernize Bank Financial Reporting,”
This new direction of travel is summarised in recent papers from the Bank for International Settlements (FSI insights on policy implementation no 29) and the Financial Stability Board (The Use of Supervisory and Regulatory Technology).
