VISION

A global economy that is more inclusive, sustainable, resilient and transparent.

MISSION

Accelerating the digital transformation of financial supervision.

Manifesto

Outlining our core beliefs and strategic vision, this manifesto serves as a guiding framework for our commitment to innovation, integrity, and excellence in all our endeavours and initiatives.

We believe that effective digital supervision and regulation of the financial sector are critical components to making our economies and societies more equitable and sustainable. By augmenting the capabilities of supervisory authorities via the Lab’s work, we’ll enable sustainable delivery of innovative financial services, greater protection of consumers, and the pursuit of other policy objectives such as financial stability and integrity, as well as more accountability in the management of environmental, governance, and other emerging risks.
We believe in reducing the current dependency on the relatively scarce, expensive set of international experts and instead developing an online community supported by augmentative digital tools to increase financial authorities’ capabilities and peer-collaboration among supervisors.
We are also a home for answering deeper, longer-term questions around collaboration and the adoption of technology across the global supervisory community. For example: Where are the opportunities for cross-jurisdictional collaboration? How might data be more effectively shared via data commons or exchanges? What components of the suptech solutions live in the private sector’s vendor marketplace vs as digital public goods vs open-source software?

Principles

Foundational values guiding our actions and decisions for sustained excellence and integrity

Our initiatives are gender intentional, aiming to seek and encourage the participation and engagement of female regulators, supervisors, and technologists, as well as incorporating gender equality / inclusiveness into the design of the suptech applications and conceptualisation of data analytics.
Moreover, we are very intentional in designing and developing applications that level the digital divides rather than deepening them. We intend to drive fairness in AI systems reducing algorithmic bias. We are aware that technology can exacerbate exclusion. Therefore, our explicit goal is to use data and tools for better inclusion outcomes.
We are also keenly aware of the sustainability challenges of the 21st century and strive for environmental sustainability in our work settings
