Abstract: | With the advent of alternative sources of finance and the new phenomenon of FinTech,
which includes crowdfunding in its various models, regulators now face the challenge
of how to regulate this innovative form of finance, and try to anticipate the impact
regulation will have.
Focusing on lending based crowdfunding in the European Union and on the basis of a
mixed method approach, this dissertation concludes that the main objectives of
regulation are promoting growth in this industry, maintaining financial stability and the
soundness of markets, and ensuring safeguards for participants in this market, especially
for SMEs and individuals. On the impact of regulation, the scenarios in France and in
the United Kingdom were analysed to conclude that, in spite of significant differences
in the way regulation has been designed in these two countries, introducing regulation
has had positive effects, supporting growth in crowdfunding activities and market
confidence. Com o surgimento de fontes alternativas de financiamento e o novo fenómeno de FinTech, que inclui o financiamento colaborativo ("crowdfunding") nos seus diferentes modelos, as entidades reguladoras veem-se confrontadas com o desafio de como regular esta forma inovadora de financiamento, e tentam antever o impacto dessa regulação. Focando no crowdfunding de empréstimos na União Europeia, e com base numa metodologia de pesquisa de métodos mistos, conclui-se que os objetivos principais da regulação são o de promover o crescimento desta indústria, de manter a estabilidade financeira e a solidez dos mercados, e de garantir a proteção dos participantes neste mercado, em especial as PMEs e os indivíduos. Quanto ao impacto da regulação, foram analisados os cenários em França e no Reino Unido tendo-se concluído que, apesar das diferenças significativas na forma como a regulação foi desenhada nestes dois países, a introdução da regulação teve efeitos positivos, levando ao crescimento dos negócios de crowdfunding e da confiança no mercado. |
