The financial technology development plan (20222025) leads the new demand of financial it
At the beginning of 2022, the people’s Bank of China issued the financial science and technology development plan (20222025), which defined the overall idea, development objectives, key tasks and implementation guarantee of financial digital transformation. From the perspective of development planning, the overall positioning of China’s financial technology has comprehensively entered a new stage of “accumulating strength and becoming potential” from the “column and beam”, with “accelerating the digital transformation of financial institutions as the main line”, and serving the digital transformation of financial institutions in an all-round way from the aspects of governance structure, development strategy, data elements, agile innovation, middle office construction, risk control mechanism, intelligent marketing, intelligent service and so on. Combined with the recent deployment of the people’s Bank of China for science and technology work in 2022, we believe that the current investment of the financial industry in the field of science and technology is expected to increase, and the prosperity of the financial science and technology sector is in the upward stage.
From the demand of the financial industry, the current main IT construction needs are concentrated in the following four parts: 1) new digital infrastructure and distributed system construction: including the construction of green and highly available data center, the construction of a new generation of core business system characterized by “distributed + micro service + cloud native”, and the digital transformation of new businesses such as intelligent marketing, intelligent risk control and open finance. 2) Key core technology and financial information innovation application: the popularization and application of distributed technology can fully unbind the “centralized” architecture, creating favorable conditions for the use of domestic databases, servers and operating systems; 3) Scale promotion of digital RMB: as the legal digital currency of the central bank, digital RMB has experienced two rounds of 10 + 1 pilot. With the implementation of the third batch of pilot cities, the breadth and depth of digital RMB application are expected to be further strengthened. 4) Data governance and data security construction: apply multi-party secure computing, federated learning, differential privacy and other technologies to explore a cross subject data security sharing privacy computing platform to realize orderly data sharing and security.
