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
Very instructive and interesting course! I would highly for those who want to understand Fintech in general.
This is very good programme, it should be marketed especially to teams working with regulators . It can go a long way in assisting sharping up the Fintech regulations.
I am now at ease to discuss on the importance of Fintech in Emerging economies.
Really excellent, one of the best Coursera courses I've done (and I've done a lot) - I would give this more than 5 stars if I could
