Fintech Finance Podcasts: The FF Salon at Money20/20 Europe 2023 with Gabrielle Inzirillo, ADGM

At Money20/20 Europe, held in the RAI in Amsterdam, FF News spoke with Gabrielle Inzirillo, Head of Ecosystem Development, Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market, to touch upon her role and responsibilities within the organisation.

Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is a leading international financial centre based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, providing a platform for businesses and financial institutions to operate, innovate, and thrive in a dynamic ecosystem. It offers a wide range of services, including financial regulation, registration of companies, and support for fintech and innovation initiatives.

“As a regulator, we are evidently civil servants. Our goal is to ensure that we have a business friendly environment that still upholds robust rules and regulations, so that business can work, business can function, and people trust the businesses that they work with and entrust money to.”

“One of our key pain points is that, as a government body, we have to decide our risk appetite – firms that we want to regulate and that we think are good for the business environment, and others that may potentially pose more of a risk to society or to the business environment, and that are maybe too difficult to provide appropriate oversight over.”
