State of Banking 2025
The global banking industry faces a pivotal inflection point. Geopolitical instability, high-interest rate fatigue, and regulatory recalibration are reshaping priorities, while AI and digital transformation continue to accelerate expectations around service, scale, and security.
Hosted by the Financial Times and The Banker in the lead-up to the Global Banking Summit 2025, this webinar will bring together our banking editors to debate the strategic reset currently underway, and what it means for profitability, purpose, and preparedness heading into 2026.
Discussion points included
How is the 2024 US election outcome reshaping global banking regulation, trade, and cross-border activity?
What lessons from recent crises (Silicon Valley Bank, Credit Suisse, regional bank volatility) are shaping future playbooks?
Are banks strategically aligned with the coming fiscal pivot - from high rates to successive cuts?
Where are institutions seeing the greatest disconnect between digital ambition and operational reality?
