Over the past few years technical innovations in the financial sphere have transformed the way we “do” finance and the economic opportunities that this offers.
The “Fintech” transformation of the traditional financial sector has offered both opportunities and presented challenges for those engaged in the financial sector, those who rely on the financial sector to undertake economic endeavours and regulators that have been tasked with the increasingly complex oversight of financial activity since the crisis.
