What happened
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund released the Bangkok Blueprint for Fraud-Resilient Financial Services. This framework is intended to assist policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, and other stakeholders in addressing cyber-enabled fraud. The framework is not formal policy guidance from the institutions.
Why it matters
The framework addresses the significant economic damage caused by digital fraud. Ekniti Nitithanprapas stated that digital fraud costs the world economy around $1 trillion annually, or 3% of GDP. Kristalina Georgieva noted that the expansion of cyber fraud threatens to reverse gains made by digital finance.
