Training on FinTech Regulation and Innovation for Central Banks
Course Overview
Financial innovation is reshaping monetary systems, payment infrastructures, and financial intermediation. The rapid growth of FinTech, digital currencies, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and real-time payments presents both opportunities and systemic risks for central banks. Regulators must promote innovation and financial inclusion while safeguarding financial stability, consumer protection, and monetary integrity.
This 5-day course equips central bankers and regulators with strategic and technical knowledge to navigate evolving FinTech ecosystems. Participants will examine regulatory frameworks, supervisory models, digital currency developments, payment system oversight, cybersecurity resilience, and cross-border regulatory coordination. The training explores how central banks can foster responsible innovation through regulatory sandboxes, risk-based supervision, and proportionate policy design.
Through global case studies and applied policy discussions, participants will gain practical insights into balancing innovation with macroprudential oversight, AML/CFT compliance, operational risk management, and digital transformation of financial infrastructures. By the end of the program, participants will be able to design forward-looking regulatory strategies that support innovation, financial stability, and inclusive growth.
