Under the Cebu Action Plan, ABAC is undertaking various activities through these initiatives related to financing MSMEs, financial inclusion/literacy, the Asia Region Funds Passport, disaster risk financing and insurance, capital market development and long-term investment.

Over 300 individual experts from over 150 organizations are actively participating in these work streams, including firms, international and domestic industry associations, government agencies, regulatory bodies, and international and academic/research organizations. These work streams are led by sherpas and core group members coming from a wide range of these organizations.

APFF Roundtable on Financial Innovation:24 February, Silicon Valley, USA
Highlights I: Impact of FinTech
• Innovations New business models Regulatory implications
• FinTech development being driven by:– Front-end tech: e.g., API, mobile money– Front-end financial services: e.g., P2P lending– Back-end tech: e.g., block chain, big data, AI, security– Back-end financial services: e.g., payments, underwriting
• Creating disruptions in various parts of the financial sector, examples:– Lending: new non-bank lenders, marketplace lending, internet finance– Fund transfers and payments: mobile/card payments, advanced fraud
and security methods, P2P, cross-border transfer platforms– Insurance: mobile access, new technologies driving operational costs,
enhanced analytics for better risk decisioning

17
APFF Roundtable on Financial Innovation:24 February, Silicon Valley, USA
Highlights II: Current Situation
• Currently predominant FinTech firms powered by recent but not the newest innovations– E.g., digital platforms and apps, big data, algorithms
• Newer technologies (e.g., block chain, artificial intelligence): still limited commercialization but have very significant potential for disruption
• Wide variation in levels of market penetration– Payments: most developed (due to e-commerce)– Lending: high investment growth, becoming significant– Block chain (distributed ledger): rapidly growing from a low base
• Incumbent financial institutions investing heavily in FinTech• Non-financial technology companies entering the financial services
sectors through FinTech acquisitions and investment• Big opportunities for financial inclusion in emerging markets
APFF Roundtable on Financial Innovation:24 February, Silicon Valley, USA
Highlights III: Regulatory and Policy Issues
• RegTech: enabling financial services firms to comply more effectively with regulations
• How policies and regulations should respond to rapidly evolving business models powered by FinTech, especially in balancing:– Critical regulatory objectives (e.g., stability, cyber security, data
privacy, consumer protection, fighting crime and terrorism) with– Broader policy goals (e.g., financial inclusion, efficiency, innovation,
growth of trade and investment)– Where the balance lies may be perceived differently in different
markets (e.g., emerging vs. advanced)• Various jurisdictions now moving to promote innovations to
develop their financial sectors – design and adoption of enabling regulatory and policy frameworks
• Needed: closer domestic and regional collaboration among regulators/policy makers, financial industry, FinTech startups, experts from multilateral and academic institutions – a role for APEC?
