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.
This is an excellent Course where all ideas are well elaborated and all topics are very fruitful. I congratulate the Instructor for this great job.
I have completed this course a month back but it seems I am the only one who took this. So, my assignment assessment is still pending after so many reminders!
Financial Regulation in Emerging Markets and the Rise of Fintech Companies is an amazing course, it gives a nice introduction as to how the current financial systems were built down to why they're now so flawed. Most importantly, how these flaws greatly affect the world's economic. If you're not sure as to why you should pay more attention to financial markets, and the uprising solutions, then this course is perfect for you. If you do not why, but still uncertain of the core causes and urgent rise of FinTech Companies, then its also perfect for you. All the best!
Excellent course which gives a great foundation in understanding the origin of financial regulation and how the evolution of banking and financial institution systems took place after the major shocks ranging from the Great Depression and especially The Global Financial Crisis and the potential and rather inevitable progress of fintech in emerging markets.

Financial regulations cover many topics, such as capital requirements, lending practices, and the types of financial instruments and services that can be offered. In addition, financial regulators have the authority to punish financial institutions and individuals who violate these rules and regulations, including fines, penalties, and criminal charges, in cases of fraud and other illega
Sets great context of financial regulation formation through crises and how fintech is developing. Really liked the interviews with some of the leading Fintech companies and how corporates are driving it.

Amazing! The most beautiful thing on law and regulation is the dialogic relation with the society, and this course has shown this perspective.
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.

Excellent!
I enjoyed the breadth of the course and the depth it took in looking at the historical context to the rise of Fintech.
Great and insightful course that should serve as the starting point for anyone considering embarking on a fin tech journey
Well organized course but very difficult to complete, peer to peer review makes it difficult to progress with ease
Very instructive and interesting course! I would highly for those who want to understand Fintech in general.

Not bad but next time show me where or what I need to complete to finish my course 100%
I am now at ease to discuss on the importance of Fintech in Emerging economies.
Being a Social Science scholar, I must admit, I found this to be worthwhile.
