Abstract

espanolEste articulo esboza parte de la evolucion reciente de las innovaciones FinTech, nombre con el que se conoce a los desarrollos financieros facilitados por la tecnologia. En particular, analiza como estas innovaciones pueden afectar la provision de servicios financieros en economias en desarrollo y el rol de los bancos centrales como agentes reguladores o salvaguardadores de la estabilidad financiera. Dado que una parte significativa de la poblacion en paises de bajos ingresos aun carece de acceso a servicios formales de instituciones nancieras, las innovaciones FinTech pueden suplir esos vacios y tener un impacto positivo. Sin embargo, la innovacion financiera tambien puede afectar la transmision de la politica monetaria, cambiando el rol de los agregados monetarios y el sistema bancario, con riesgos para la estabilidad financiera. Las FinTech, ademas, pueden competir con proveedores financieros tradicionales en areas como los sistemas de pago, el comercio, la custodia, la administracion de activos y la intermediacion de prestamos. Asi es como la regulacion y la formulacion de politicas publicas deben adaptarse a los desafios planteados por las tecnologias modernas y asegurar, a la vez, que estas no se transformen en barreras a posibles innovaciones. EnglishThis document outlines part of the recent evolution in FinTech —technologically-enabled innovation in financial services. In particular, it looks at how it can impact the provision of financial services in developing economies and the role of central banks as regulators or backstops for financial stability. A significant part of the population in lower-income countries still lacks access to formal services from financial institutions, and FinTech can fill in these gaps and have a positive impact. Nonetheless, financial innovation can affect the transmission of monetary policy by changing the role of money aggregates and the banking system, and it may pose risks for financial stability. FinTech may also compete with traditional financial providers in areas such as payment systems, trading, custody, asset management, and loan intermediation. Regulations and policy making will need to adapt themselves to overcome the challenges posed by modern technologies, and to ensure that they do not become a bottleneck to possible innovations
