Regulatory Technology, or RegTech, could help transform today’s regulatory landscape, drawing on similar advances as FinTech to improve the efficiency, utility and cost of supervision.
In a recent speech Benoît Cœuré, Head of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Innovation Hub, asked the listener to imagine a world where regulators have access to big data sets of high granularity, diversity, and frequency.

The Expert Group on Regulatory Obstacles to Financial Innovation (ROFIEG) was set up by the European Commission in June 2018 to explore this question. Recently it published its recommendations, both identifying regulatory obstacles […]
With the volume and complexity of data gathered by regulators ever increasing, RegTech provides an opportunity to automate elements of the regulatory process, improving efficiency, speed and effectiveness. The Shanghai Stock Exchange’s (SSE’s) recently launched Company Profile System does exactly that, making full use of digital reporting’s potential to reduce the need for manual data […]
As we’ve reported here before, the financial system is currently undergoing a technological revolution that regulators must respond to.

At the same time, banking supervision is a highly complex system, with regulatory submissions reaching record […]
Some ideas to make Asia a Fintech/Regtech/Suptech powerhouse, following the recent XBRL Asia Round Table meeting in Japan.
Australian and Chinese securities regulators ink agreement to exchange information about Fintech and Regtech developments.
