Why Policy20 matters: Real-world regulatory challenges

Asia's fintech landscape faces unprecedented regulatory complexity that demands a dedicated forum like Policy20, which creates a trusted and neutral space to address common issues in the fintech, digital assets, and payments sectors, including AI-based regulation, digital asset policies, and Web3 preparedness.

Problem 1: Cross-Border Payment Harmonisation

Asia's cross-border payment landscape is transforming but remains fragmented.

Policy20 Solution: A collaborative environment where regulators can develop passporting rights for financial institutions and fintechs, reducing duplicative compliance requirements like multiple KYC checks across borders.

Problem 2: Financial Inclusion Through Regulatory Innovation

Regulatory frameworks directly impact financial inclusion efforts.

Policy20 Solution: A forum where regulators can develop alternative KYC frameworks, tiered compliance approaches, and innovative identity solutions that maintain security while expanding access.

Problem 3: Digital Asset Regulatory Divergence

The region leads globally in digital assets and CBDC innovation, yet faces significant coordination challenges.

Policy20 Solution: A platform where central banks can align governance frameworks, CBDC technical standards, and develop consistent cross-border protocols for AML/CFT compliance and consumer protection.

Problem 4: Emerging Technology Preparedness

Financial institutions face unprecedented challenges from quantum computing and AI adoption.

Policy20 Solution: A specialised forum for developing coordinated regulatory responses to quantum security threats and creating ethical AI governance frameworks specifically tailored for Asia's financial services sector.
