Digitalisation and Innovation - Opportunities and Risks for Financial Health

BIS

"Digital innovation is enhancing access to payments, credit, savings and insurance. But these benefits are emerging alongside new vulnerabilities: a global surge in scams and fraud, greater over indebtedness among some digital borrowers and the use of ill-suited investment products. This highlights the role of financial authorities in enhancing regulatory and supervisory frameworks to mitigate emerging risks, providing public infrastructures and services, and enabling responsible innovation that supports financial health outcomes."
