Furthering cross-border and cross-sectoral cooperation in digital finance

The workshop aims to exchange views and discuss the best approaches to enhance cooperation among NCAs and international organisations, considering the opportunities offered and challenges posed by digital technologies and their application in the financial sector. The first part of the workshop will explore existing cases of cross-border collaboration, focusing on the challenges and lessons learned from such initiatives, in particular, to help highlight essential approaches and best practices. The second part will shift to developing
and strengthening cross-border collaboration among NCAs and international bodies like the BIS Innovation Hubs and the JRC, particularly in applied research and supervisory activities. Similarly to other EU-SDFA activities, this practical part of the workshop will follow a bottom-up approach, prompting a discussion among NCAs aimed at identifying and selecting topics and use cases for the development of cross-border cooperation initiatives, such as EU-wide digital sandboxes based on synthetic data, authorisation and reporting processes, and data sharing and monitoring tools.
