Introducing the FinTech Regulatory Futures Index: A Global Benchmark for the Future of Fintech Regulation

Every year, trillions of dollars move through fintech markets governed by rules that no one has systematically measured, compared, or ranked across sectors.

At PZF 2026, the Fintech Foundation and GFTN introduce the FinTech Regulatory Futures Index, the first rigorous, evidence-based benchmark that measures regulatory quality across jurisdictions.

The Index aims to function as a public-interest instrument and a call to action for every market that wants to lead. Built with regulators, practitioners, and academics from over 30 countries, the Index is designed to become the definitive global reference point for what good fintech regulation looks like, and what it costs when it falls short.
