MEA regulators are engaging FinTech companies in regulatory sandboxes and allowing operations in a light regulatory environment under almost real-time conditions so that ideas can be tested to ensure their viability. Regulators play two roles—offensive and defensive. In their offensive role, they are helping FinTech companies spread their wings in a controlled environment and in their defensive role, they are protecting the consumer and overall financial system. Join us for a conversation on the MEA region's opportunity to carve out a unique space in FinTech and lead the development of the next generation of the internet.
