Keynote by Martin Moloney, Deputy Secretary General, FSB

Synopsis: 

In this timely keynote, the Financial Stability Board offers a clear-eyed perspective on how global regulators must adapt as technological innovation reshapes financial services. From AI and tokenization to real-time payments and crypto-assets, the keynote explores the risks that persist—even as technology evolves—and outlines the FSB’s approach to safeguarding financial stability without stifling innovation.

Drawing on recent FSB work, Deputy Secretary General Martin Moloney highlights the need for swift regulatory inclusion of new entrants, greater investment in supervisory expertise, and coordinated global action to avoid fragmentation. As financial systems grow faster and more interconnected, this session outlines what it will take for regulators to keep pace—while ensuring that risk, information, and trust remain firmly at the core.
