Mexico has one of the most diverse financial services landscapes in all of Latin America, including about 250 fintech firms. In fact, 35 percent of the fintech companies in Latin America that serve people left behind by traditional banks are in Mexico, according to fintech start-up accelerator Finnovista. They also project that Mexico’s fintech space could dominate nearly a third of the banking sector within a decade.

Recently, I launched a class on Skillshare called " Intro to Data Visualisation with Python : Create Comprehensive Plots with Matplotlib and Numpy ". It's a class I sought to create as my flagship project for the summer of 2019 This class is all you need to visualise data with Python. It aims to teach the essentials required to visualise data with Matplotlib, a library for plotting in python. The class also covers NumPy in a brief manner, a scientific computing library that goes hand-in-hand with the visualisation capabilities provided by Matplotlib. We'll also work with CSV files with pandas. You'll also be getting the essential coding practices required to create these types of programs. To make the most out of this class, it is beneficial to have some prior programming experience ( preferably python ) but however, it's not necessary. An up-to-date system running Windows, MacOs or Linux with an installed version of python is recommended ( I  will provi...

The GDPR framework issued by the European Union has created its fair share of impact on all firms dealing with some form of data in Europe. Many people might think that the GDPR is just an IT issue, but that is the furthest statement from the truth. It has broad-sweeping implications for the whole company, including the way companies handle marketing and sales activities. However, the implications of this framework are not geographically bound by Europe. U.S. news sites have had a different experience with GDPR than European sites. Two months after the law’s enforcement, more than 1,000 news publishers chose to block European visitors from their sites. According to research from ad tech firm Catchpoint. Ad rates have increased 10 per cent in the U.S. since May 25 and dropped in Europe, according to research from analytics firm Ezoic. Rational economic actors will respond in predictable ways to manage such risk. Data-Backed Securities (DBS) might allow organisations to convert u...

Japan emphasises  that the conflict between the Israeli and the Palestinian sides should be resolved only through negotiations, based on relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, the Madrid Principles, the Roadmap, the agreements previously reached by the parties and the Arab Peace Initiative, and that any violent acts must be firmly rejected. Based on the aforementioned position, Japan is actively contributing in the process through three pillars; political dialogues with the parties concerned, promoting confidence-building between the Israeli and the Palestinian sides, and extending economic assistance to the Palestinians. Particularly, Japan will continue its unique efforts such as through the Conference on the Cooperation among East Asian countries for Palestinian Development (CEAPAD) and the “Corridor for Peace and Prosperity” initiative. Japan considers that the international community should actively support for peace in the Middle East. In this context, Japan highly...

Chatbots are Machine Learning and Deep Learning powered programs that can conduct meaningful conversations. Most of them use technical attributes like Natural Language Processing and Context Analysis to converse with a human or another chatbot. The bot is programmed to self-learn as it is introduced to supplementary dialogues and words. In consequence, as a chatbot receives new voice or textual dialogues, the number of inquiries that it can reply and the accuracy of each response it gives increases. A Chabot can converse with the user through self-embedded messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger or through various flagship Assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri or Amazon Alexa. Nowadays, chatbots are being deployed in fields where their use clearly seemed to be obvious. Firms engaging in Financial Planning, Investment Management and Expense Tracking could reap a wide array of benefits when they make use of this technology. They can have a lasting impact on human-driven sec...
