FinTech Regulatory Roundtable – June 2022
20/06/2022 @ 09:00 - 13:00
The Mauritian FinTech ecosystem launched the first FinTech regulatory roundtables in 2020 to open up important discussions around the key challenges and blockers for this industry to thrive.
In 2022, and with the support of Cim Finance in this endeavor, we would like to continue the discussion on the topics previously tackled over the last two years, with the objective of assessing how far and how well things have progressed with regards to new processes, regulations and guidelines that have emerged from those. This would be an ideal post-budget opportunity for stakeholders of the ecosystem to come together, collaborate and discuss the future in depth.

- 9.00 – 9.15 a.m: Opening Ceremony
- 9.15 – 9.45 a.m: Information Sharing & Data Access (Open API & eKYC)

FORMAT OF THE REGULATORY ROUNDTABLE
The Regulatory Roundtable aims to provide a forum whereby members of the Mauritius Africa FinTech Hub (MAFH) and individuals within the FinTech ecosystem can discuss contemporaneous topics of relevance to the FinTech industry with regulators. The overall objective of the Regulatory Roundtable is to accelerate the development of the FinTech industry through regulatory reforms.
The individuals attending the Regulatory Roundtable will be spread across 5 different tables, with each table having the same agenda which will be managed by the moderator. The areas of discussion suggested under each topic are to be addressed at the discretion of the participants. However, we would stress that the discussion focuses on the topics chosen for this Regulatory Roundtable.
