Financial systems face evolving risks from climate change, digitalisation, and new financial ecosystems that challenge existing supervision and policy frameworks. Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and satellite systems enhance risk identification and monitoring, yet introduce new technological and cybersecurity threats. Sustainable finance and financial inclusion have emerged as instruments for managing long-term risks and strengthening financial system resilience, though questions persist regarding data quality and greenwashing.
This special issue seeks theoretical and empirical research examining the challenges and opportunities arising from the convergence of technology, sustainability, and financial inclusion. Contributions should adopt financial and risk management perspectives, with particular interest in studies addressing implications for financial stability, prudential supervision, and public policy design.
