Introduction
In an era of rapid digital transformation, financial regulators and financial institutions are increasingly relying on Supervisory Technology (SupTech) and Regulatory Technology (RegTech) to enhance financial stability, strengthen regulatory compliance, and improve the effectiveness of financial policymaking. SupTech enables supervisory authorities to enhance data collection, risk monitoring, and market oversight through advanced technological tools, while RegTech supports financial institutions in automating compliance processes, managing regulatory reporting, and reducing operational and compliance risks.
This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of how emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and digital identity solutions—are reshaping financial regulation, supervision, and policy development. The program integrates regulatory frameworks, international best practices, and practical use cases to support policymakers, supervisors, and financial institutions in strengthening market conduct, risk management, and financial inclusion.
