What is the situation of the Pacific Alliance?
The Ministry of Finance of the PA country members want to promote the development of the fintech industry as an enabler of the transition to a digital economy and strengthen the capacities of regulators and supervisors in the region to contribute to the digital transformation of financial markets.
The Cambridge SupTech Lab and World Bank value proposition:
- The PA is working with the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) to assess the development of the necessary requirements to enable this mandate.
- To do this, the Lab will provide a full diagnostic of the capacity gaps, comparing the actual estate of the PA members against the market standards and technology tools used by the financial authorities and supervisors from the most developed countries.
- Once this is completed, the Lab will provide a full report of the diagnostic and a complete proposal to fill these gaps.
- The Lab will develop a workshop with the financial authorities of each country member of the PA to revise the full diagnostic and recommendations, identify priorities and propose a line of action for each of them to progress to fill the gaps they have.
