Epidemic inspired the financial industry to accelerate the embrace of financial technology, double cycle pattern and what are the new ideas, What are the new ideas and opportunities under the double-cycle pattern?

The guests discussed the role of Fintech as a gas pedal of business, mainly in the case of the insurance industry. In the past, the actuary's main focus was on making assumptions, and the ability to do this was reflected in making the assumptions more accurate, and the models were set up one by one. Now with big data, there is still a need for actuaries to make assumptions, but these assumptions are more well-founded." Shen Shuguang, a dual-appointed professor at Lingnan College of Sun Yat-sen University and the School of Politics and Public **** Affairs Management, explained it this way from the transformation of the actuary's business by technology.
"Take medical health as an example, health insurance data covers the past years of Guangdong province residents in the medical situation, known data of all male treatment of heart disease, known to do surgery, medication, cost and other data, through a certain model can be compared to the results. This shows that the basis of actuarial has changed significantly, it will certainly affect pricing, will certainly make pricing rationalization, precision, personalized development, will have a direct impact on the channel rates. This is also the grip that insurance companies can still grow in the face of major epidemics - mobile internet, big data, and artificial intelligence have transformed the sales channel." Shen Shuguang concluded.
From the practical perspective of the insurance industry, Li Yuanlan, General Manager of Mingya Insurance Brokerage Guangdong Branch, shared her experience of accelerating digital transformation during the epidemic, validating the aforementioned viewpoint of Prof. Shen Shuguang.

How does fintech drive the deep transmutation of the financial industry? Well-known financial scholars, venture capital experts / Ruyi Capital Managing Director Zhang Auping put forward, according to the industry development cycle, the digital transformation of the financial industry is still in the primary stage, accompanied by changes in technology, the industry's functions and attributes will change? A number of guests present at the meeting agreed that the financial industry will still abide by the essence will not change.
Liu Lan Biao, deputy dean of Nankai University's School of Finance and director of Nankai University's Financial Science and Technology Research Center, pointed out that digitalization and technology may change the specific financial business and the form of these functions, and also change the financial institutions to carry out the business of being able to influence or cover the scope of the business, but the function of the financial industry itself, the attributes of the financial industry will not be transmuted.
Fu Yu, assistant director of Peking University's Digital China Research Institute (South China), agrees that digitization is a tool, not a strategy, and is unlikely to change the attributes and functions of the financial industry, and it solves the problem of essentially reducing costs and increasing efficiency. For example, the use of big data and blockchain, Internet of Things technology to solve the problem of high cost of credit, credit identification difficulty, to solve the problem of high cost and financing difficulties of real enterprises.
In fact, 2020 is the year of dramatic changes in financial technology regulation, a series of regulatory policies introduced to make the financial technology industry tense nerves. Strong regulation to regulate what? How to effectively wind control? Dr. Fu Yu's view is that fintech and the industry can not be "two skins". She explained that financial innovation solves the problem of transactions, the generation of insurance solves the problem of maritime transportation, the emergence of credit cards solves the problem of global trade, financial innovation must be combined with the industry, it comes from the industry, and serve the industry, which is a fundamental point.
