My topic today is 鈥榗onquering the new frontier: regulating for growth in the digital age鈥� 鈥� and it is a new frontier because our lives are being transformed by innovation. In particular, through the digitisation of the 鈥榬eal鈥� world.

Our financial services and markets are no different. As we emerge from the global financial crisis with a focus on economic growth, success requires that we harvest the opportunities from the digital age, while also mitigating the risks.

With this in mind, I want to talk about:

  • ob体育鈥檚 role
  • the environment in which we operate
  • digital disruption, and
  • cyber security.
