Finance is essentially based on information, and information today is essentially digital. Machines and their algorithms are now involved in the age-old relationship between the various economic agents and the financial information they process, which raises a number of questions: what do these algorithms do? Who uses them, who benefits and who suffers? And the related question: how can digital finance be regulated?
In an attempt to answer these questions, the Conseil Général de l'Economie and the Governance and Regulation Chair at Paris-Dauphine University have invited representatives from the banking and digital sectors, regulatory authorities and the academic world to round-table discussions on two subjects that are generating a great deal of debate. Blockchains, which bring together encryption algorithms and decentralised computer architectures, are attracting interest from digital companies, appear to be challenging traditional financial intermediation and playing at the political boundaries of regulation. Unlike blockchains, so-called algorithmic finance has developed in the world of banks and markets, but it sometimes seems to be escaping its creators: what if the preponderance of algorithms was causing the weakening of banks and markets?
