Hurdles to Innovation at Financial Regulatory Agencies RegFi Podcast

RegFi co-hosts Jerry Buckley and Sasha Leonhardt in 2020 collaborated with the Alliance for Innovation and Regulation (AIR) to author a report titled “Financial Regulators’ Dilemma: Administrative and Regulatory Hurdles to Innovation.” The report — based in large part on interviews with heads of innovation at the principal federal financial regulatory agencies — outlines technological, structural and cultural impediments to regulatory innovation.
In this episode, Jerry and Sasha provide an overview of their research and the report’s key findings. The conversation then zooms out to consider how technological developments in recent years have confirmed — or challenged — some of these conclusions, as well as administrative and legislative efforts to spur innovation at federal financial regulators.
