“Digitalisation Has Reshaped Regulatory Landscape: CySEC Chair at iFX Expo International

The gates to the iFX Expo International 2024 are now open. It is another year when the event has landed at Limassol, Cyprus, the heart of the retail trading industry. The venue at the City of Dreams Mediterranean is now packed with attendees; some are interested in listening to the long list of speakers, while others are more focused on networking on the expo floor.

iFX Expo International brings the entire trading industry under one roof. The event is being attended by regulators, C-level executives, marketers, company representatives, influencers, and even traders.

The Keynote by Chair

The first day of the expo started with an opening keynote speech by CySEC’s Chairman, Dr. George Theocharides. The speech focused on how “digitalisation has reshaped the regulatory landscape in the financial industry.”

Dr. Theocharides added: “As organisations have adapted to changes in customer preferences, the trends that we have seen in the last ten years or so in the financial services industry are more digitalisation and more online and mobile trading platforms. We have also seen more sophisticated technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which have been crucial for delivering insights and personal financial products.”

He continued: “Last year was difficult for fintech market globally… investment in fintech fell to a five-year low driven by a combination of challenges including high interest rates across the globe, and persistent inflation, as well as geopolitical tensions.”
