The Superintendency of Banks of the Dominican Republic and the Alliance for Financial Inclusion held a three-day Peer Learning Exchange in Santo Domingo on behavioral economics, bringing together regulators and supervisors from several countries. The forum focused on how behavioral tools can be applied in the financial sector to strengthen financial consumer protection and support evidence-based approaches to regulation and supervision. Participants reviewed international trends, shared institutional experience and explored practical uses of behavioral economics in policymaking and oversight. The exchange included representatives from the Central Bank of Armenia, the Financial Market Regulation and Development Agency of Kazakhstan, the National Banking and Insurance Commission of Honduras, the Alliance for Financial Inclusion and the Dominican authority. External experts also contributed, including a University of Sussex associate professor on practical applications and institutional capacity building, while officials from the Dominican Republic's Superintendency of Pensions presented examples of using behavioral approaches to improve communication and citizens' decision-making.
