Financial Data Governance: The Datafication of Finance,
the Rise of Open Banking and the
End of the Data Centralization Paradigm
New paper by Douglas Arner, Giuliano Castellano and Eriks Selga, of The University of Hong Kong.
Financial regulation has been forced to adapt to financial digitalization. In parallel, new sets of rules and principles have been developed to assert sovereignty over the digital world. These rules are increasingly enveloping all critical societal functions, from privacy, to national security.
