SUMMARY:Marketplace Lending in the EU: New FinTech Solutions, Old Policy Issues
DESCRIPTION:<div style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">	<p style="text-align: center;">		<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="e827c5e8-00f6-4b2b-b6a9-221173a8c6e5" alt="Evento manuel fintech"></drupal-media>	</p>	<p>		The purpose of this talk is to discuss the evolution from crowdlending to marketplace lending practices in EU financial markets. Undoubtedly, the lack of a harmonized regulatory framework at EU level has created a number of regional and local market dynamics worth considering for regulatory policies, which keep lagging well behind market practice. 	</p>	<p>		In the framework of this groundbreaking (r)evolution in the retail finance industry, several questions are worth considering for borrowers, investors, marketplaces, supervisors, and legislators alike: (i) role of marketplaces in profiling, pricing, and proposing matches between borrowers and investors; (ii) their disclosure and conflicts of interest as agents of both investors and borrowers; and (iii) solvency and macroprudential risks.	</p></div><div style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">	<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt">		<span style="caret-color:#000000"><span style="color:#000000"><span><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span><span style="sans-serif"><strong>Speaker: </strong>Manuel J.
