Introduction
Ladies and gentleman, it鈥檚 a privilege to be speaking at the AFR鈥檚 Banking and Wealth Summit 鈥� the first event in its inaugural National Policy Series.
For over 50 years, the Australian Financial Review has been a leading source of independent news and commentary on the financial sector. And, I think forums like this provide an important venue to discuss the big issues confronting our sector. I congratulate Michael Stutchbury and his team for putting this event on.
My topic today is 鈥� Harvesting the opportunities from financial innovation: How can ob体育 help you? The key to harvesting these opportunities is investor and financial consumer trust and confidence.
In exploring how we do this, I would like to talk about:
- ob体育鈥檚 role in creating trust and confidence
- the challenges to trust and confidence, and
- how ob体育 will respond to the challenges created by digital disruption and financial innovation.
