In the upcoming 8th edition of the ET Now Global Business Summit 2024, set to take place on February 9th and 10th in New Delhi, India, one of the key sessions will delve into the theme of “Banking Beyond Borders: Risk, Resilience, and Recovery.” This session aims to address the evolving landscape of the banking and finance sectors amidst significant structural and macroeconomic shifts.
The session will feature a dialogue between Bill Winters, Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Bank, and Ajaya Sharma, Senior Editor at ET NOW. Together, they will explore the complexities of managing risks across diverse markets, building resilience in the face of economic uncertainties, and devising recovery strategies amidst geopolitical shifts and unforeseen disruptions.
In recent years, the banking and finance industries have been compelled to reinvent themselves to adapt to the changing global landscape. The emergence of new technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence (gen AI), has further accelerated the pace of transformation.
This shift towards more agile and rapidly deployable technologies underscores the importance for banks to adapt their operations swiftly. In an increasingly interconnected world, where risks transcend borders and disruptions can originate from various sources, agility and adaptability have become paramount.
Moreover, the session will emphasise the significance of leveraging technology and fostering international partnerships to thrive in this dynamic environment. While technological advancements offer new opportunities for innovation and efficiency, international collaborations enable banks to expand their reach and enhance their capabilities in diverse markets.
As the global business landscape continues to evolve, discussions at the ET Now Global Business Summit 2024 are expected to provide valuable insights into navigating the challenges and opportunities facing the banking and finance sectors. By fostering dialogue among industry leaders and experts, the summit aims to facilitate strategic collaborations and drive forward-thinking initiatives to ensure the long-term stability and sustainability of the global financial ecosystem.
