The program is designed for financial regulators and policymakers from around the world working in strategy, policy, authorization, licensing, enforcement, technology, legal, and research to ensure multidisciplinary cohorts.
Participants are expected to dedicate 5-6 hours per week. Each week, an activity-based overview of each module will be provided covering the major business models, with a focus on defining the characteristics of each model, to equip an understanding of the fundamentals.
The introductory week provides an overview of the key transformative technologies used in the financial sector, including machine learning, natural language processing, APIs, QR codes, cloud computing, and DLT, among others.
In each subsequent week, a Fintech sector will be covered with a focus on the defining characteristics of different business model, to equip regulators with an understanding of the fundamentals of each. Following the assessment of each Fintech sector, a range of regulatory responses are worked through including regulatory sandboxes, innovation offices, regulatory and supervisory technologies, regulatory reform and international cooperation. The course is delivered via tutor groups, interactive online lectures, and online readings and exercises. Participants work closely with their colleagues from other regulatory organizations and receive personal support from their tutor.
