IT (Information Technology) means fundamental technology and applied technology on computer and data communication. It is aimed at helping corporate business and our lives. Recently, the word "Fintech" has become popular. This is a coined word meaning a combination of Finance and Technology. Finance has a much longer history than computers and communication technology. In recent years, however, these technologies are essential in finance services. As is the payment system, information processing is a major function. It is highly likely that FinTech will have a major impact on financial industry organizations, market efficiency, market stability, and monetary policy. In this department, we will actively make policy recommendations and social implementation efforts in areas related to finance and IT.
