Speaker sessions
Policymakers and regulators expect banks to be at the forefront of building a global economy with net-zero carbon emissions. Banks have a unique opportunity to expand their businesses, become sustainable companies and lead the charge to net zero. However, our global survey suggests they face quite a few internal challenges. How can these be addressed and what help and resources do banks need for their journey?
The emergence of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) raises many questions about how they will work with existing payment systems. We’ll explore what banks, central banks and payment networks need to do to ensure interoperability between the existing and the new. We’ll also discuss how fragmentation of the global financial system can be avoided and debate which CBDC model is most likely to win out in the future.

Many now see the migration of core applications and processes to the cloud as an essential next step for them, and for many, payments is top of the list for ‘cloudification’.

Did you ever think you’d be asking, “Should I buy a piece of land in the metaverse?” Well, many traditional banks have started. Not only to buy land but to build stadiums, lounges and branches.
