The leader mentioned the transition happening in the financial services sector which eventually serves as the base for the trade and commerce industry. He laid emphasis on the role of financial technology or fintech in leveraging the seismic shifts occurring in the global economy. He stated that mobile banking and investment apps, peer-to-peer lending, digital currencies, crowdfunding, etc. are all major advancements shaping and revolutionizing the financial sector.
“The momentum and energy of this evolution now needs to be harnessed by delegates in Davos. They need to commit to fintech by using their time, energy and resources for its research and development for three principal, positive reasons,” added Mr. Green.
Mr. Green highlighted various benefits of fintech during his interaction at Davos. He bragged that an investment in fintech will give a boost to global financial inclusion and will help in providing financial services to underdeveloped communities. Fintech allows firms to diversify their operational capacities, reduce costs, and helps in meeting the regulatory requirements. The investment in fintech helps in making financial services easily accessible.
