A speech by Greg Medcraft,聽Chairman, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, ob体育 Annual Forum聽2017 (Hilton, Sydney),聽20 March 2017
Introduction
It is great to be here at our 2017 ob体育 Annual Forum.
I am very excited about the theme of our conference this year, which is 鈥楩uture Focus鈥�.
In this fast paced environment, I think it鈥檚 critical we keep our eyes on the transformative changes on the horizon.
I am looking forward to exploring with you, developments we anticipate in the future 鈥� and even those we might not anticipate.
To start off today, I would like to:
- give my thoughts on where we are now 鈥� and where we are heading 鈥� as we speed into a new future
- talk about some of the benefits and risks that can emerge from the fintech and regtech developments we are seeing and will continue to see, and
- touch on what our responses to these developments are, and should be, going forward.
