Objective

Banking supervisors need to adapt to banks’ new business models. Information technology is becoming increasingly important in the functioning of banks and banking supervision – presenting both risks and opportunities. At the same time, resources are scarce and supervisors must adapt by striving for greater quality and efficiency.

This panel provides an overview of supervisory and regulatory approaches to digital banks, cloud outsourcing and penetration tests (e.g. EU DORA), as well as crypto-assets (e.g. EU MiCAR). The sessions will also discuss the issues and challenges faced by banking supervisors during their own transformation, e.g. in relation to digitalisation and big data, but also supervisory strategy development, or the second line of defense.

The panel will focus on both theory and practice wherever possible.

Content

• Introduction to supervision in Germany and Europe
• Selected topics, e.g. digital banks or fintechs, crypto-assets, digital operational resilience, cloud outsourcing, penetration tests, SupTech, banks’ use of AI/ML in internal models, supervisory approaches to enhancing quality and efficiency
