Priorities for Global Financial Governance in the digital age

OECD Global Blockchain Policy Forum 2022: Crypto-assets, stablecoins and prospective central bank digital currencies are reshaping the interconnectedness of financial markets in ways that could have profound impacts on the ability for policymakers to deliver on key mandates, and which may ultimately erode the efficacy of current systems of cooperation and coordination. At the same time, these shifts could be harnessed to address some of the shortcomings in international finance. This roundtable convened key institutions and stakeholders to build on the high-level dialogue on the Forum’s first day, to consider the positive and negative pressures facing current global governance structures in a time of rapid digital transformation, in order to identify priorities and articulate responsibilities as the international system adapts.
