Digital financial products are transforming financial services, bringing new opportunities, and new supervisory challenges. This program provides practical tools and insights to effectively supervise digital financial services (DFS) while safeguarding financial stability and supporting financial inclusion.

Upon completing the program, participants will improve their understanding of risks to financial stability, consumer protection, and market integrity arising from DFS, understand how to develop and implement appropriate risk-based approaches for DFS, and enhance their capacity to oversee DFS in a way that supports both financial stability and inclusive financial sector development.

Speakers:
Galina Carroll, Program Leader, Toronto Centre
Tomáš Prouza, Program Leader, Toronto Centre

This is an elective Level 2/Effective program of our Certified Financial Supervisor (CFS) designation, and is open to both CFS participants and non-CFS participants.

New podcast!

"Introduction to Quantum and Financial Services," the first episode in our Quantum Computing and Financial Supervision series, is now available.

As quantum computing moves from theory to real-world application, it has the potential to reshape key aspects of financial systems, from risk modelling and analytics to cybersecurity. While large-scale quantum capabilities are still developing, their future ability to compromise existing encryption standards presents a material risk to data security and financial stability.

In this three-part series, Jennifer Elliott and Professor Michele Mosca explore what this emerging technology means for the financial sector and how supervisors can begin to prepare.

In this introductory episode, they discuss what quantum computing is, why it matters for financial services, the risks it could create, and how supervisors should begin preparing.

Guest:
Michele Mosca, Professor, Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo

Host:
Jennifer Elliott, Assistant Director, Monetary and Capital Markets, IMF; Board Member, Toronto Centre

The second and third episodes will be coming later this month.
