13/11/2017 - 17/11/2017 at Arusha, Tanzania
In the last few years, many countries in East Africa were focused on building out their financial stability and macroprudential policy infrastructure and adopting a macroprudential approach to supervision and regulations. In addition, many central banks and other regulatory agencies are seized with the importance of effective regulatory and supervisory oversight of financial technology firms, commonly referred to as Fintech, which offers significant opportunities for financial inclusion and innovation. However, if not carefully supervised, Fintech could have serious implications for the soundness of financial institutions as well as the management of systemic risks.
