Financial technologies are rapidly gaining traction across the globe. Held on 10 June in Vilnius, the seminar will bring together high-level representatives from the Bank of Lithuania, the International Monetary Fund and the Ministry of Finance, as well as innovative financial market participants to discuss how to take advantage of the opportunities financial technologies offer and mitigate related risks.
Given rapid advances in financial technology that are transforming the economic and financial landscape, in October 2018 the IMF and the World Bank put forward the Bali Fintech Agenda. The agenda advances key considerations with regard to fintech and its regulation, distilling them into 12 elements (including recommendations on stimulating growth of the sector and mitigating the associated risks) that arise from the experiences of member countries.
Lithuania is an early example of these guiding principles implemented in practice.
