The structure of the EU financial sector is changing…
The provision of financial services is becoming increasingly disintermediated, facilitated by digitisation, data access and even enabling regulatory measures such as the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
These changes may benefit consumers as well as financial institutions, for instance through enhanced accessibility and network effects via platformisation. However, policymakers at EU and international level are increasingly assessing the implications of structural change in line with their objectives of consumer protection, the integrity and stability of the EU financial system, competition and competitiveness.
… understand the impact of data access, digitisation, regulation and BigTech on future of the financial sector …
Learn about the key drivers of structural change in the EU financial sector, and compare these with other key financial centres in Asia and the US. Understand policy initiatives intended to tackle emerging issues, including the EU’s flagship Digital Markets and Digital Services Acts and ongoing work towards ‘open finance’.
Strengthen your understanding by exploring ongoing workstreams at the EU and international levels intended to ensure the opportunities of digitisation and data access can be leveraged whilst mitigating risks to consumers, financial integrity, financial stability, and competition in the financial sector.
