Improving Financial Regulation for an Evolving Environment Conference

The Atlanta Fed's Center for Financial Innovation and Stability and Georgia State University's Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk organized a workshop titled Improving Financial Regulation for an Evolving Environment. The conference was held in person at Georgia State University on October 30-31, 2025. The workshop's goal was to bring together economists, finance and risk management professionals, and regulators to consider the micro and macroprudential issues and capital formation issues associated with the evolving financial system.

The financial supervisory and regulatory environment is being challenged on a variety of fronts. Some of these challenges arise from longstanding debates about appropriate policy, such as those related to the optimal prudential supervision regulation of financial institutions in areas including liquidity and capital adequacy and the role of securities regulation in facilitating capital formation. Other challenges arise from recent developments in technology such as the development of digital (for example, blockchain) assets and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). Still others arise from the evolving environment, such as the growing strains in the US Treasuries market and the rise of alternative financial services providers (such as fintech firms and private credit). This conference will focus on how financial supervisors and regulators can best respond to both longstanding and relatively new challenges to achieve financial stability while continuing to support the real economy's need for financial services.
