Roundtable 4
Invite-Only
Tokenisation of financial and real economy assets is estimated to accelerate the pace of digitalisation and impact the broader economy beyond financial services. Despite good progress in asset tokenisation experimentations and pilots, the lack of FMI compliant digital infrastructure which financial institutions can use to execute digital asset transactions prevents financial institutions’ ability to deploy digital assets at scale.
This roundtable discusses the importance for multilateral platforms to be powered by open and interoperable networks amongst global banks and regulators. Moderated by Tommaso Mancini-Griffoli, Division Chief in the Monetary and Capital Markets Department at the International Monetary Fund and Alan Lim, Head of the FinTech Infrastructure Office at the MAS.

Despite good progress in asset tokenisation experimentations and pilots, it has been identified that the lack of an open, unified digital infrastructure which financial institutions can use to execute digital asset transactions is limiting financial institutions’ ability to deploy digital assets at scale. This panel will discuss the case of a foundational digital infrastructure that is open and accessible for regulated financial institutions to develop, deploy and use applications for financial industry use-cases. This session will highlight key principles and capabilities of such a digital financial network backbone as well as prevailing mechanisms to achieve interoperability between existing and new financial infrastructures.
