This course gives an overview of the changing regulatory environment since the 1997 Asian and 2008 global financial crisis. Following these two major crises, governments around the globe enacted a set of far-reaching new financial regulations that are aimed towards safeguarding financial stability. However, banks find it increasingly difficult to be profitable in this new regulatory environment. Technology, at the same time, has taken important leaps forward with the emergence of sophisticated models of artificial intelligence and the invention of the blockchain. These two developments fuel the emergence of fintech companies around the world.

TOP REVIEWS FROM FINANCIAL REGULATION IN EMERGING MARKETS AND THE RISE OF FINTECH COMPANIES
Being a Social Science scholar, I must admit, I found this to be worthwhile.
This course was well presented. I am a science student who's never had any Business or Financial education and I was able to perfectly understand everything with help from the required reading.
Thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was well thought out and planned for anyone looking to learn about fintech. Would definitely recommend for any beginners or newcomers.
Honestly thing it is a great course. I learnt a lot, it is well taught and the assignments test the application of the content well.
