Sixth Annual ESRB Conference - Panel: Technological innovation and systemic risk
Channel: European Central Bank
Date: 2022-12-13

The recent wave of financial innovation, based on the opportunities digitalisation offers, can benefit customers of financial services and increase competition and contestability in the financial system. It can also facilitate the task of prudential authorities through, for example, the processing of large datasets. However, besides benefits, technological innovation can also bring new challenges. How is technological innovation reshaping systemic risk? What are the key priorities for regulation and how could macroprudential policy mitigate new sources of systemic risk?
