DRIVING GROWTH WHILE DEALING WITH RISKS AND DISRUPTION

At a pivotal time for the financial industry, IESE’s 21 Banking Industry Meeting is an especially timely forum to discuss how the banking business is changing and what skills will be needed to compete successfully in the coming years. The Meeting will focus on an environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory and financial fragmentation, and pressure to find new sources of growth in a context where monetary policy, credit and the cost of risk are once again key points on institutions’ strategic agendas. All this makes the Meeting a particularly relevant event for anyone who needs to understand what is happening and how the sector’s main players are responding.

This macro-financial complexity is compounded by a profound transformation of the system’s competitive structure. The advance of private credit, debt funds and other non-bank financial intermediaries is shifting traditional boundaries between banking and markets. Meanwhile, the European conversation about the Savings and Investments Union and the future of financial integration has added a major strategic dimension. At the same time, the evolution of payments in Europe and discussions on the digital euro, tokenization and stablecoins are opening a new phase in the architecture of money, financial distribution and European monetary sovereignty. The Meeting agenda addresses all these issues with a combination of institutional vision, market perspective and executive experience in some of the sector’s most urgent discussions.

Moreover, technology can no longer be understood as a mere lever for efficiency. Generative AI, reliance on third-party technology, cybersecurity and operational resilience have become critical factors for governance, control and stability. It is therefore particularly beneficial for the Meeting to have specific sessions on systemic risks arising from cyberattacks, the implementation of AI in banking and the comprehensive management of the risk map in a highly uncertain environment. Added to this is the existence of senior executives from incumbent banks, new digital players, institutional investors and public decision-makers, thus guaranteeing a rich discussion on profitability, scale, competition, execution and value creation.

Attending IESE’s 21 Banking Industry Meeting is therefore an opportunity to gain perspective and anticipate trends at a time when banking is maneuvering through geostrategic risks, technological disruption and new avenues for growth. The Meeting’s value resides squarely on this combination of current affairs, strategic relevance and quality speakers: the event will provide a unique opportunity to compare ideas, enrich the debate and leave with a clearer vision of the challenges that will define European banking in the years to come.
