In collaboration with the leadership of the African Financial Inclusion Policy Initiative (AfPI), we cordially invite you to the upcoming Virtual Workshop.
Effective data collection and management in the DFS and FinTech landscape is essential for regulators to meet their obligations. Accurate and timely data allows central banks and supervisory authorities to improve market intelligence, predict risks, and implement evidence-based policies that foster stability and innovation. The challenge lies in reducing the reporting burden on the industry while maximizing the value of the data gathered. This webinar will discuss policy strategies from AFI members in Africa, share insights from a new Guideline Note on FinTech and Digital Financial Services Ecosystem Data for Supervision and Market Intelligence, and encourage discussions on creating robust, data-driven supervisory systems tailored to the specific demands of African markets. By learning from each other and leveraging effective strategies, regulators can maintain inclusive, innovative, and well-supervised ecosystems amid rapid digital change.
Objectives
- Facilitate knowledge exchange among African regulators on their approaches to ecosystem data collection, usage, and sharing for effective supervision and market intelligence.
- Enhance understanding of the guidance and recommendations provided in the Guideline Note on FinTech and DFS Ecosystem Data for Supervision and Market Intelligence.
- Equip participants with actionable insights and strategies to adapt ecosystem data collection frameworks to their country contexts, accelerating financial inclusion and fostering sustainable economic growth.
