The JFSA

The new Journal is an open-access publication which aims to bridge the gap between academia and financial supervision.

With research articles, expert commentary, and case studies covering topics such as digital finance, sustainable finance, and regulatory innovation, the Journal provides a platform for knowledge exchange among supervisors, policymakers, academics, and other professionals across the globe.

Dr Pablo Iglesias-Rodríguez said: “It was an honour to be welcomed at Malta and contribute to the Launch Roundtable of the JFSA, an open-access publication providing a platform to connect academic research with the practice of financial supervision.”

Pablo’s participation at the event reflects Sussex’s standing in global academic forums, highlighting the strong reputation of University scholars internationally and our commitment to sharing knowledge with real-world impact.
