Trends and Challenges

The banking sector faces a number of challenges such as economic instability, high unemployment, and threats of a global trade war. In addition, high interest rates, tight margins, and restrictive risk policies since the 2007 economic crisis have created a highly competitive and complex environment. In this regard, it is critical that financial institutions adapt to industry-relevant regulatory changes and seek ways to differentiate themselves on the market.

Accelerated technological transformation is another important challenge for the banking sector. The development of disruptive technologies—such as blockchain, cloud computing, IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality—is changing the way banks operate and how they engage with their customers. The banking sector is also facing the gradual entry of new players to the market, such as fintechs and bigtechs, which offer attractive value propositions and greater operational flexibility.
