This Risk@360degrees Banking & Finance Congress will be dedicated to the themes of Risk Culture (during the morning sessions) and Basel 3 and Solvency 2 (during the afternoon sessions)
The financial services industry is currently facing unprecedented operational, regulatory and economic pressures. Rigorous legal controls and recent aggressive efforts by regulators (Basel 3, Solvency 2, MiFID 2) require Risk Management to act swiftly in order to minimize risks and improve process governance.
More than ever, financial institutions need to review their business model, and more specifically their risk management and the way they conduct business. Global economic slowdown, increasing competition from new entrants in financial services, and waves of new regulation that make business more complex and create cost burdens and overkills for medium-size players … these are just some of the drivers for re-evaluating the risk models and investing in operational excellence.
During the afternoon, we will take an in-depth look at the true drivers of this process optimisation and process excellence in terms of Basel 3 and Solvency 2, and also review some market responses to concerns expressed by business managers. The Congress will provide the perfect opportunity to review a wide range of solutions.
