Digitizing Finance
Digitizing Finance examines and quantifies the social and economic impact of digitizing financial services in emerging markets. Learners analyze financial services delivered over digital infrastructure. Learners examine three building blocks for capturing the benefits of digital finance: building a robust and broad digital infrastructure, ensuring dynamic and sustainable financial services markets, and offering digital financial services that people prefer over traditional methods. Learners perform analyses of digital finance on the financial services value chain. Learners identify and evaluate future horizons for digital financial services including new credit-scoring models, peer-to-peer lending platforms, enablement of micro-payments, and development of e-commerce.
