The IMF warns that AI-enabled cyberattacks pose systemic financial stability risks across interconnected digital payment and banking systems; India's RBI and financial regulators should embed cybersecurity into macroprudential oversight, strengthen third-party vendor oversight, and prioritise resilience and recovery planning alongside prevention.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell cloud infrastructure, payment rails, or AI tooling to Indian fintech or banks, the RBI is about to demand your clients prove they can switch off you without the financial system breaking. Build exit strategies and redundancy into your product now, or lose deals.
