Objective

Banking supervisors need to adapt to banks’ new business models. Information technology is becoming ever more important to the functioning of banks and banking supervision – bringing risks and opportunities. At the same time, resources are scarce and supervisors must adapt by striving for greater quality and efficiency.

This panel provides an overview of supervisory and regulatory approaches to digital banks, cloud outsourcing and penetration tests (e.g. EU DORA), as well as crypto-assets (e.g. EU MiCAR). The sessions will also discuss issues and challenges that banking supervisors face during their own transformation, e.g. in relation to digitisation and big data, but also supervisory strategy development, or second line of defense.

The focus will be on both theory and practice wherever possible.

Contents

• Introduction to supervision in Germany and Europe
• Selected topics, e. g. digital banks or fintechs, crypo-assets, digital operational resilience, cloud outsourcing, penetration tests, SupTech, banks’ use of AI/ML in internal models, supervisory approaches to enhancing quality and efficiency

This course is aimed at banking supervisors. They should have a thorough understanding of the supervisory initiatives and innovation strategy at their central bank or supervisory authority and actively share their knowledge with other participants in the panel. Active participation, for example in the form of a short presentation on one of these topics, and willingness to share own experiences and national approaches is essential.
