About this session
Emerging markets are building the financial infrastructure that will define the next decade of global commerce. This session brings together architects of payment systems, technology platforms, development finance, and regulatory frameworks spanning India, Africa, and cross-border corridors.
Critical questions to be explored include:
- How do countries balance sovereignty with interoperability?
- What infrastructure enables both speed and security?
- Who should build and operate cross-border rails?
Speakers will examine what separates scalable models from failed experiments across payments, lending, and development finance. -
