Framed as the first large-scale international event in Moldova focused on the future of finance in emerging markets, it is intended to serve as a standing forum for dialogue between academia and public institutions. The agenda focuses on how emerging technologies, including distributed ledger technology, smart contracts and central bank digital currencies, could reshape traditional market architecture. Sessions will cover the use of artificial intelligence in market surveillance and risk management, DLT-based market infrastructure, digital transformation in banking, cross-border payments and regional financial integration, and open banking and API-based financial services.
