The agenda covered risks from geopolitical tensions and potential financial fragmentation, alongside practical themes such as capital markets development, responsible regulation of crypto-assets, the impact of artificial intelligence and quantum computing on supervisory approaches, and the evolution of cross-border payment systems.
