Track 7: Digital transformation in financial sector

The financial sector has been the object of many innovations in recent years. Starting with fintech 1.0, an era of infrastructure, globalisation, transatlantic cable Fedwire, and credit cards, following fintech 2.0 – period, marked the shift from analog to digital banking, first ATM, SWIFT, and digital stock exchange, we are facing fintech 3.0 transformation effect, triggered by the financial crisis of 2008, led by digital payments, crowdfunding, blockchain technology, and artificial intelligence solutions. The causal nexus that led to the digital transformation of the financial sector is disintermediation. New development trends are gaining momentum, accelerated by Covid-19, which is a crossroad between surviving a vortex and a universe of opportunities.

This era is marked by the emergence of new players, disrupting traditional financial players. While Fintech offers so many opportunities for reforming and democratizing finance, it also is affecting business and society in positive and negative ways: from disruptive innovation to greater financial inclusion; from destroying business models to inclusive and sustainable finance and markets; from eliminating to creating jobs; from transparency to ethical issues; from deregulation to regulatory issues.

- Financial system impact of disruptive innovation;
- Greater financial inclusion; fintech regulatory issues;

- Greening the financial system;

- Ethical, cultural, and social implications of finance digitization;
