The objective of this research is for describing the key role of financial (FinTech) regulation to manage the risks, keep-up the balance and stability of FinTech ecosystem from the highest impact of risks’ in this industry. FinTech lending has grown rapidly in recent years in many countries and becomes a promising business model in the future, because it is a disruptive innovation to today's financial and banking markets. The rapid development of FinTech lending due to the use of internet-based mobile application platforms, so that it is easily accessible by anyone and anywhere, it encourages an increase in lending to the customers, however credit risk (although absorbed by lenders or investors, still indirectly affects the platform operators), experienced an increase due to non performing loan or NPL. The increase in NPL is an important concern for FinTech lending industry stakeholders, and if it is not addressed it will disrupt the FinTech ecosystem, let alone cause systemic risk, it will be the toughest disturbance in the stability of the FinTech ecosystem, considering that the risk of FinTech lending has a significant influence on the FinTech ecosystem, so that if the level of risk increases, it affects the FinTech ecosystem, this condition requires the key role of financial (FinTech) regulation that can mitigate risk, because financial (FinTech) regulation has a very strong correlation or relationship, so that it can mitigate the risks faced. Another key role of financial (FinTech) regulation is to strengthen the FinTech ecosystem, with new elements needed by the industry and encourage the industry to develop the concept of ecosystem-based risk management in this industry, because it is believed that this concept can mitigate risk as well. Fundamental risks in the FinTech lending industry include: (i) credit risk, (ii) operational risk and (iii) liquidity risk, meanwhile pandemic risk is a new element that is also being investigated, the results of the study show that pandemic risk has a positive correlation with start-up FinTech companies, this means that a pandemic still allows this industry to develop and grow. Financial (FinTech) regulation as a key role is supported by 2 (two) main rules, namely (i) regulatory and (ii) supervisory and 2 (two) complementary provisions to strengthen regulations related to IT process support, namely big data analytics, automation & robotics and FinTech consumer protection agency. The FinTech ecosystem also needs to be strengthened, with new elements needed to exist, such as credit insurance institutions that stand alone and are separated from traditional financial institution element and FinTech consumer protection agency.

Abstract Since the financial crisis of 2008 and intensified during the corona crisis, the interdependence between the stability of the financial systems and the prevailing degree of competition (DC) has been the subject of scientific and economic policy discourse on fragmented markets and „too-big-to-fail“ banks. In theory and empiricism, two fundamentally contrary causal concepts are opposed, the elementary basis of which is the precise measurement of the DC: Competition-stability- versus Fragility-Hypothesis. Based on the recent state of research, it can be shown that alternative DC-Measurements consistently show significantly different competitive conditions and in consequence the evidence for or against a stability-enhancing competitive effect seems to be predetermined by the chosen DC-Measurement.

AbstractIn the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, European Union regulators introduced the mechanism of ‘third-country equivalence’ for non-European financial institutions to access the EU internal market. This article evaluates for the first time the GATS-consistency of the European rules on third-country clearinghouses. Through this exercise, the article sheds light on the tension between financial regulation and WTO law, exploring how these two different disciplines can be reconciled. Building on the international economic law principles of non-discrimination and transparency, the analysis reveals that the European financial regulation could negatively impact the access of smaller countries to the EU market. The regulation in question is assessed under the GATS Article VI (Domestic Regulation), Article II (MFN), Article VII (Recognition), and the Annex on Financial Services prudential carve-out. The findings of the European case study indicate that the vast flexibility that trade law has delegated to national regulators possibly has adverse effects on the liberalization of financial services. The article concludes that if WTO Members do not derogate from their GATS obligations and commitments, the stability of the financial system would not be jeopardized, while the prospect of international integration would be increased.

AbstractThe turbulence in the international financial markets in the 1980s inspired the idea that independent academics might be in a position to make a contribution to the improvement of regulation and thus ultimately also to the stability of the national financial sector in the United States. This led to the creation of the US “Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee“, a group of academics and other independent experts working in the field of financial regulation, which meets regularly and issues statements concerning conceptual as well as current issues in financial regulation. Two years ago, a similar shadow committee was founded in Europe. It is composed of members from 11 different countries. The special problems of financial regulation in Europe, as well as the special features of the European Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee (ESFRC), derive from the fact that despite the trend towards economic and political integration, Europe is still a collection of different nations with different institutional set-ups and political and economic traditions. In this paper, Harald Benink, chairman of the ESFRC, and Reinhard H. Schmidt, one of the two German members, describe the origin, the objectives and the functioning of the committee and the thrust of its recommendations.

Historical institutionalism features extensively in the study of banking and financial regulation in Europe. This chapter reviews scholarship that explicitly, implicitly or inadvertently draws heavily on that tradition’s central tenets. The authors find that historical institutionalism can help explain the emergence, persistence, and evolution of distinct kinds of financial systems in Europe, as well as the pattern and effects of European financial integration. However, they find there is considerable untapped potential for historical institutionalism as an analytical approach for studying European financial market integration and regulation.

Abstract The stability of the financial systems is an objective necessity for the sustainable development of each national economy. Within this framework, ensuring financial stability is a priority for the central banks and for the other macro-prudential supervisory and regulatory authorities. In order to ensure the stability and "the health" of the national financial system, the competent authorities should analyze, assess and adopt optimal and timely measures to eliminate potential imbalances. These and other aspects are the main objectives of our research.

At nearly the same moment, Jeremy Bentham and Henry Thornton adopted diametrically opposed approaches to stabilizing the financial system. Henry Thornton eloquently defended the Bank of England’s actions as the lender of last resort and saw its discretionary management of liquidity as the key stabilizer of the credit system. In contrast, Jeremy Bentham advocated the imposition of strict bank regulations and examinations, without which, he predicted, Britain would soon experience a systemic crisis—which he called “universal bankruptcy.” There are strong parallels but also dramatic differences with our recent attempts to reduce systemic risk within financial systems. The Basel III bank regulatory framework effectively intertwines Bentham’s and Thornton’s diametrically opposed approaches to stabilizing banks. Yet Bentham’s and Thornton’s concerns regarding the stability of the wider financial system remain alive today due to financial innovation and the politics of responding to financial crises.
