Intensive, practical and focused training

Central Banking Publications and Prof. Ron Berndsen have designed this two-day training course to provide you with the latest developments and good practice methods within the evolving landscape of payments, settlements and FMIs:

  • Building blocks of FinTech innovation
  • Overview of oversight bodies and frameworks 
  • Key features of retail payment instruments and infrastructures 
  • Risks and benefits of RTGS and DNS systems 

The first day of the course covers the evolving landscape of payments and settlements: the impact of FinTech and disruptive innovation; the emerging world of CBDCs and crypto-assets; retail payments; and large-value payments.

The second day covers oversight and innovation: interdependencies; securities and derivatives; and effective oversight.

Throughout the course, each session features interactive hand-on exercises that will enable delegates to apply their newly acquired skills and knowledge to real-life market scenarios.

In 2019, central bankers across the globe not only accept that the era of disruptive innovation is here to stay but also begin to systematically appreciate the risks and benefits for central banking policy, services and financial market oversight. Increasingly, leading decision-makers recognise that long-held tenets of fiat currencies, centralised settlement systems and institutionally focused supervision need to be challenged or they will be overtaken. The question is now not whether to join the FinTech revolution, but how to take an active part in it, and make the most of the opportunities it offers.
