As our co-editor, Igor Odobescu of ACI Partners, explains, “in an era marked by rapid globalization, increasing cross-border transactions, ever-evolving regulatory frameworks, and unprecedented technological advancements, understanding the intricacies of banking and finance law is crucial to navigating the complex challenges and opportunities across specific jurisdictions and the CEE region." He adds: "This guide recognizes that the growth and digitalization of the banking sector extend beyond the boundaries of traditional banking institutions. The rise of fintech startups, digital banking, alternative lending platforms, blockchain, and cryptocurrency and decentralized finance have disrupted the status quo, presenting both opportunities and challenges for legal practitioners.
