The IIMA Misra Centre for Financial Markets and Economy and the Centre for Advanced Financial Research and Learning (CAFRAL; promoted by Reserve Bank of India) are organizing the International Research Conference on FinTech: Innovation, Inclusion, and Regulation on March 10th & 11th, 2023 at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.

FinTech is transforming both the demand and delivery of financial services. Consumers and businesses have benefited significantly from FinTech by expanding their reach, lowering costs, and improving the accuracy of decisions. FinTech ventures are already posing stiff challenges to traditional banks by offering more cost-effective solutions for payments, lending, and many other services that reduce overall financial costs. However, the technological innovations also pose an unprecedented set of challenges and issues for consumer protection and the regulation of FinTech firms. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers, regulators, and practitioners to a common platform for discussion on important topics and agenda in the FinTech domain.
