Gabriele Columbro, founder and executive director of the Fintech Open Source Foundation (Finos), says while the debate between regulation and deregulation will persist, the focus should be on streamlining the reporting process using newer, more sophisticated tools in conjunction with existing systems and in a collaborative way.
To that end, Open Source FinReg is an initiative created by Finos that aims to bring together financial institutions, technologists, and regulators to potentially build common data standards and platforms specific to financial regulation technology, though it is still early days, Columbro tells WatersTechnology.”
