Financial markets—like our societies—are undergoing a digital transformation. We are seeing the emergence of new and innovative financial products or other types of assets; new types of trading venues and innovative technologies for financial market infrastructures, as well as new forms of financial intermediation or even dis-intermediation.The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend of digitalisation of financial markets and of our economies. Digitally-enabled financial services helped economies avoid a complete standstill during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they have the potential to support a digitally-enabled recovery.
