                                 the regulation and supervision of Fintech business models, products and services. To
              December, 2019
                                 that end, it reviews the current regulatory and supervisory practices of financial
                                 authorities, building upon a survey distributed among ASBA members regarding
                                 Fintech-related regulations and approaches and other relevant documents.
                                 A total of 56 jurisdictions on all five continents were examined, including 11 within
                                 the ASBA membership.

                                 need maintenance and governance in order to ensure that they remain up-to-date

                               measures to enhance the resolvability of systemically important financial
                               institutions and sets out plans for further work. The report concludes that
                               authorities and firms need to be mindful of any remaining gaps as they work
                               towards making resolution strategies and plans operational in all sectors.

International Monetary Fund
                       (IMF)   The 2019 Global Financial Stability Report identifies the current key vulnerabilities
               October, 2019   in the global financial system. Besides, the report proposes that policymakers
                               mitigate these risks through (i) stricter supervisory and macroprudential oversight
                               of firms, (ii) strengthened oversight and disclosure for institutional investors, and
                               (iii) the implementation of prudent sovereign debt management practices and
                               frameworks for emerging and frontier market economies.

                               The 2019 Global Microscope analyzes the regulation and policies used by
                               governments and regulatory institutions of 55 countries around the world to
                               increase financial inclusion among their populations. The index focuses on
                               regulation, political strategies and infrastructure. In addition, the document
                               incorporates a specific gender perspective to better understand how financial
                               inclusion policies affect women differently and how governments and regulators
                               can reduce the gender gap in financial inclusion.

                       (IMF)
                               The document describes the growth context that Latin America and the Caribbean
              October, 2019
                               (LAC) is going through. In general, the LAC region has decelerated from 2018 to
                               2019, although a rebound is presumed by 2020. This deceleration is due to external
                               factors that continue to damage the region's perspectives and among them, (i) the
                               slow world growth, (ii) moderate prices of commodities and the (iii) volatile capital
                               flows. For its part, the report mentions the great uncertainty that exists around
                               economic policies in some of the large countries that slow down growth further. To
                               return to the progress, the document mentions that LAC economies will have to
                               resort to internal sources of growth and restore the maneuvering margins of
                               economic policies.

                            This document mentions the effects that technological innovation is having and will
                            have on the banking industry. In general, the document shows that technology is
                            making banking activities more open, transparent, real-time, intelligent,
                            personalized, secure, integrated and deeply parallel in the lives of consumers and
                            the operations of institutional clients. However, the document emphasizes that the
                            entry of disruptive models should not change the main role of banks: matching
                            demand with the supply of capital. Banks should go hand in hand with these
                            technologies, focusing on strengthening: (i) technological infrastructure; (ii) their
                            data management, (iii) human capital and (iv) risk management.

                     2019   Powerful forces are reshaping the banking industry, creating an imperative for
                            change. Banks need to choose what posture they want to adopt - to lead the
                            change, to follow fast, or to manage for the present. Whatever their chosen
                            strategy, leading banks will need to balance execution against 6 critical priorities
                            and have a clear sense of the posture they wish to adopt. However, each of them is
                            important, and success will come from a balanced execution across these priorities
                            and a balance of tactical initiatives and longer-term programs, all coming together
                            as an integrated whole.

             September, 2019     The question of the most effective policy mix for climate change mitigation remains
                                 relatively unexplored and is complex given the substantial uncertainties in this
                                 topic. It requires an understanding of policy objectives trade-offs and interactions,
                                 as well as political economy considerations. This literature review focuses on the
                                 roles that macroeconomic and financial policies can play in climate change
                                 mitigation, provides a menu of relevant macroeconomic and financial policy tools
                                 and instruments, and highlights the complexity of the policy challenge and the need
                                 for coordination of different policy areas for achieving mitigation efficiently and
                                 effectively.

                              The spread of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in finance could help to improve
                              the efficiency and quality of supervision. This paper makes the case for embedded
                              supervision, i.e. a regulatory framework that provides for compliance in tokenised
                              markets to be automatically monitored by reading the market’s ledger, thus
                              reducing the need for firms to actively collect, verify and deliver data. After
                              sketching out a design for such schemes, the paper explores the conditions under
                              which distributed ledger data might be used to monitor compliance.
