Financial technology (fintech) is thriving globally and received $17.4B in investment last year alone. According to EY' s Fintech Adoption Index, a third of consumers worldwide are using two or more fintech services, with 84% of customers saying they are aware of fintech (up 22% from previous yr). But users are often unaware that the financial services applications they use count as " fintech" , or may not know what exactly fintech and its accompanying jargon means. Here, CNBC explains all the crucial terminology you need to know to understand the sector. Fintech - Financial technology is broadly defined as any technological innovation in financial services.Those engaged in the industry develop new technologies to disrupt traditional financial markets. Various start-ups have been involved in the process of creating these new technologies, but many of the world' s top banks including  HSBCand  Credit Suisse  have been developing  their own fintech ideas  as well. Fintech companies utilize technology as widely available as payment apps to more complex software applications such as artificial intelligence and big data. Cryptocurrency - A cryptocurrency is a decentralized digital currency which uses encryption - the process of converting data into code - to generate units of currency and validate transactions independent of a central bank or government.Bitcoin  and ether are the most common form of digital currencies. But there are other forms of virtual cash, such as Litecoin, Ripple and Dash (i.e. " Digital Cash" ). Bitcoin - ' Bitcoin' &ndash a term we' re more used to hearing even in mainstream finance &ndash is the first and one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies used by traders in the world of fintech.It all began when an unknown person(s), under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, designed bitcoin as a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment network without the need for governance by any central authority. In an introductory white paper introducing the virtual currency, Nakamoto defined bitcoin as: " A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash (which) would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution." Blockchain - Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology (DLT). This means that it maintains records of all cryptocurrency transactions on a distributed network of computers, but has no central ledger.It secures the data through encrypted ' blocks' . Various blockchain experts believe the technology can provide transparency for a multitude of different industries, not just the financial services. The original blockchain network was created by bitcoin-founder Nakamoto to serve as the public ledger for all bitcoin transactions. |

RIYADH ? Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced plans to build a new mega city on the Red Sea coast, promising a lifestyle not available in today's Saudi Arabia as he seeks to remake the kingdom in a time of dwindling resources.
The city project, to be called "Neom", will operate independently from the "existing governmental framework" with investors consulted at every step during development. The project will be backed by over US$500 billion (S$680 billion) from the Saudi govt, its sovereign wealth fund and local and international investors. The Prince, 32, made a rare public appearance at the conference to promote the project, telling the bankers and economic policymakers in attendance that the kingdom was moving to a "new generation of cities". Neom will be powered by clean energy, and will have no room "for anything traditional". Holding two phones - one a decade old and the other, a smartphone - the Prince said they represented the difference between what Neom would be and any other such area. The 26,500 sq km zone - stretching into Jordan and Egypt - will focus on industries, including energy and water, biotechnology, food, advanced manufacturing and entertainment, he added. The ambitious plan includes a bridge spanning the Red Sea, connecting the proposed city to Egypt and the rest of Africa. Prince Mohammed's announcement was the highlight at the opening of a 3-day international business conference drawing over 3,500 people from 88 countries. It was arranged by Saudi Arabia's main sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), as part of an effort to present the kingdom as a leading global investment destination. "Neom is situated on one of the world's most prominent economic arteries... Its strategic location will also facilitate the zone's rapid emergence as a global hub that connects Asia, Europe and Africa," PIF said. It said yesterday the Neom mega economic zone was envisaged as the crown jewel in a string of planned investments that should nearly double the assets of the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund to US$400 billion by 2020.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called out the property sector in his key speech this week.
China's central bank governor also commented on rapid growth of household debt and raised worries about a coming sharp drop in asset prices.

All this money being created and sky high land prices will push up property values, create a wealth and consumption effect and push up local share prices. Not rocket science.
