In an era marked by rapid digital transformation, the imperative to protect people through accessible technology, interconnected and interoperable systems has never been more critical to financial systems and beyond.
The Art of the Possible for SupTech at the Point Zero Forum identified the technological, regulatory, and cultural challenges that collectively impede progress in adopting the technologies necessary to meet the risks present in today’s financial system. A key insight was the need for a clear narrative and shared vision for SupTech to be developed, to provide a clear pathway for future adaptable approaches and product development.
This interactive roundtable at the Insights Forum aims to develop this vision and present the necessary conditions for success. By bringing together world leaders in the field to explore the intersection of regulatory digital transformation and technology accessibility, we hope to present a framework for the inclusive design and forward-thinking strategies necessary to develop the RegTech and SupTech products to protect our families.
Key Discussion Points:
1. What are the current trends in regulatory and supervisory tech?
2. What are the necessary measures to ensure the benefit of all individuals?
3. Accessibility is at the core of an equitable growth in the society, how do we ensure products are developed with this in mind?

Central banks play a crucial role in extending the trust and connectivity of their domestic financial ecosystem with other markets in this rapidly digital world. As businesses and SMEs increasingly venture cross border into new and emerging markets, they will need to have the support of a common digital trust and accessible foreign exchange to seamlessly connect with international parties.
An innovative way to build digital trust is through integrated Financial Trust Corridors (FTCs). FTCs not only build trust among financial institutions and businesses, but also sets forth a scalable digital ecosystem that allows for the sharing of common data, utilisation of smart digital assets and democratised access to foreign exchange.
In this roundtable, discussants will address the ways in which central banks can lead the development of common digital trust frameworks like FTC that empower local financial institutions and businesses, share about existing FTC work in Asia and Africa, how semi-fungible digital assets can accelerate development, and identify partnership constructs with banks, fintechs, foreign exchange solution providers and private sector entities towards a multilateral trust and FX ecosystems.
