- Regulating new products and institution-level product approval
Sandbox operations: Regulatory sandboxes provide an important signal to the market and an
opportunity to test innovations. In line with industry trends to incorporate technology and business model innovations, it is recommended that regulators consider adjusting the testing and risk monitoring frameworks applied in the sandboxes to enhance the space for business model innovations as well as technology. A more holistic approach to testing would cover not only technology and operations risks, but also look at business model issues and potential regulatory requirements pertaining to capital, earning, and management fit-and-proper criteria for products and services that might be introduced and scaled in the market on a stand-alone basis as well as within an established bank. From the perspective of the BoT, the sandbox allows regulators and industry participants to learn side by side; indeed, the shared innovation in QR payments has been a big success. At the same time, the sandbox operators should ensure that the market is aware of how innovations will be protected for solo projects, and how exit criteria are determined. • Regulating new products and institution-level product approval: The market would benefit from clarity on when innovations will be viewed through the lens of existing activity-based regulations and when new laws or regulations are required. Product approval processes also need to adapt to the pace of innovation to balance speed, complexity, and readiness of the market, while maintaining a focus on consumer protection. Regulators should consider granting umbrella approvals covering a range of related products or setting exposure thresholds. A November 2018 press release from the BoT on Financial Institution Regulatory Reform indicates steps in this direction. These considerations will need to extend beyond financial institutions as financial services become embedded in non-financial businesses and other activities. The Three-Regulator Committee should consider articulating an overall regulatory strategy for financial services in a digital economy, covering not only development of specialized regulations, but also how existing principles might cover a broader range of providers, including niche startups, BigTech companies, and others beyond the traditional financial services regulatory perimeter. • Supervision: The oversight processes of the BoT, OIC, and SEC may need to be updated, consistent with each regulator’s legal authority, as new providers and products enter the market, different customers interact in new ways with their financial services providers, and hybrid business models emerge. For example, the customer shift to digital channels in banking and brokerage will affect business models beyond the specific new products and channels. Structures are in place for cross-regulator coordination, but the allocation of responsibilities may be tested by hybrid business models (e.g., P2P lending that is funded by a collective investment vehicle or underlying securitization). Supervisors need to continue to build capacity to THAILAND INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 57 understand business models and technology, assess the ways in which customer behavior, incentives, and markets are changing, and adapt supervisory strategies, including the strategic use of SupTech, accordingly. The FSAP team also recommended timely issuance of guidance for crowdfunding, collecting more granular data on payments and cost structures, and working with banks and FinTechs to upgrade oversight and monitoring as the character and volume of account usage change.
