Question from Ms. Hanna Yuliyani

Assalamualaikum, good afternoon.

Why did researchers choose to focus on regulatory issues, consumer protection, and
data security as the main legal challenges in the P2P lending sector? And to what
extent can the P2P lending sector operate sustainably in developing countries, such
as Indonesia, which have special challenges related to legal infrastructure and
technology adoption?

Thankyou

Thank you for your question, Ms Hanna

I think fundamental challenges that directly impact the viability and
trustworthiness of P2P lending, regulatory Issues P2P lending operates at the
intersection of banking and technology, creating novel scenarios that traditional
financial regulations weren^t designed to address. Clear regulatory frameworks
are essential for defining operational boundaries, establishing accountability
mechanisms, protecting market stability preventing systemic risks. Consumer
Protection, the retail nature of P2P lending, involving many individual lenders and
borrowers, information asymmetry between platforms and users, risk of
predatory lending practices, need for transparency in interest rates and fees
Importance of protecting retail investors who may not fully understand risks.

Data security became critical due because, large volumes of sensitive financial
and personal data handled, increasing cyber threats in digital finance, need to
maintain user trust, potential for identity theft and fraud, P2P lending
sustainability in developing countries like Indonesia, the sector face,
underdeveloped regulatory frameworks, limited enforcement capacity unclear
jurisdiction between financial and tech regulators, time lag between innovation
and regulation. Technology adoption, digital literacy gaps, limited internet
infrastructure in rural areas, uneven smartphone penetration, cybersecurity
vulnerabilities. Opportunities are large unbanked population creating significant
market potential, growing smartphone adoption, young, tech-savvy population
need for alternative financing sources for SMEs. Sustainability factors the sector
can operate sustainably if regulatory framework, develops clear but flexible
regulations, implements proportionate supervision, establishes consumer
protection mechanisms, creates standardized reporting requirements.

Hope it answer your, best regards, thanks a lot.
