The rise of technological innovation has added complexity and new dimensions to the investment markets. The combination of financial products or services and technology is seen in different contexts. These include the use of AI for robot-advisers, for market trading e-payments, or the emergence of digital currencies. Such novel usage no doubt raises new challenges to regulators, and requires regulatory responses. Consumers are given more choices not only in terms of the diversity of financial products they can subscribe to, but also the ways through which these financial services are offered. What is challenging for the regulators is to tailor their solutions depending on the nature of the technologies. Further, the regulatory solutions must also be sustainable. But what sustainability entails and how it can be achieved will be closely examined in this series, which brings together leading academics in EU, Australia, Singapore, mainland China, Hong Kong for an in-depth discussion of issues raised by technologies, and what responses are needed.
