In this editorial, QBR Economics & Policy Editor Rishab Chakraborty discusses how information in financial services, markets, and intermediaries has traditionally been tightly regulated in a closed loop. This differs from traditional software, where consumer and behavioural data from non-financial institutions is typically unregulated in its use. However, with Open Banking reform coming to Canada’s regulatory data framework, we can see an uptick in innovation in the Canadian fintech space.

Liquidity shapes the valuation and pricing of nearly every asset—real estate, commodities, derivatives, credit, and even public equities—and is important in calibrating an equilibrium price. Economics and Policy Editor, Rishab Chakraborty, explores the role of liquidity in each asset class and many effective price discovery mechanisms and means of measurement. He delves into an overview of liquid markets' conceptual regulatory, economic, and commercial barriers and promises.
