FinTech Weekly - 🤔Just a Matter of Luck? - Issue #433
It seems that FinTech success worldwide depends on location and regulation.September 14, 2023In this edition of FinTech Weekly, we explore the notion that sometimes success is simply a matter of luck. A fintech company established in a country where innovation is embraced and where regulators support progress has a distinct advantage over one born in a place with fluctuating regulatory frameworks heavily influenced by diverse opinions. While the introduction is meant to be provocative, our focus remains on the challenges faced by businesses and customers who desire a more predictable system. As Mersch highlighted, regulators face a delicate balancing act. New regulations should prioritize user protection without stifling competition. Moreover, their introduction should be timely – neither prematurely nor belatedly.
