Future Effects of Technology: Three Theses
1. So far technology was focused on changeing processes. Today and in the
future it will transform the whole transactions systems.
2. So far technology was used to profit from various forms of economics of scale
and scope; in the future it will open opportunities to benefit from net
economies.
3. So far technology in banking had a strong instrumental character. In the future
it will affect and change social habits and structures in all client segments.

Conclusions
1. Commercial banking is in a dramatic process of reorientation. For the borrower it is
extremly important to understand this transformation which takes place in the
financial industry.
2. Key element of this transformation is from a borrowers point of view
disintermediation. This opens new opportunities for designing financial contracts
between investors and borrowers as well as between borrowers and financial
intermediaries.
3. As long as we focus on traditional dept management, we probably will pay too much
for specific financing transaction, due to information asymmetry and inefficient loan
markets.
4. In designing a dept contract, all six basic elements of a loan or a bond should be taken
into consideration. Loans can be creative, complexe products tailored to the individual
risk / return profiles of lenders and borrowers.
5. With the widening of the integrated european financial market based on the EURO
there will be a widening market for creative, even exotic loan products. For borrowers
this will open new financing facilities and reduce the average cost of capital.
