A few days back, Simon Gleave, Head of Financial Services at KPMG ASPAC, commented that Fintech innovation has accelerated the development of financial services thus playing a crucial role in developing inclusive finance and supporting the real economy;
“Technology-driven innovation has extended financial services to a deeper and broader mass market and to specific market segments. Innovation brings both opportunities and challenges,” said Gleave. “The active participation of all parties is key to the rapid growth of the industry. This year, the interaction between regulators and the Fintech sector has been even closer. It is critical for regulators to closely monitor and promote the improvement of policies and regulatory compliance in the Fintech sector so that specific risks, new risks and systemic risks arising in innovation activities can be identified and managed in a timely manner.”

Today, pretty much all financial services can occur via a smartphone and diversified big tech is leading the charge in China.

“Government bodies, business entities, colleges, research institutes and social organisations need to cooperate and be actively involved,” said Wang.
