  • More than ever, as economic uncertainty continues to challenge the stability of the financial system, truly effective risk management has become a strategic necessity. Organizations are recognizing that only clear, fundamental, and well-anchored risk practices can prevent missteps and safeguard financial stability. By strengthening these essential pillars, they enhance their ability to detect risks earlier, respond more accurately, and sustainably protect their mission of financing the economy.

  • In an environment shaped by political uncertainty and emerging geopolitical, cyber, and digital risks, supervisory authorities must anticipate rapid shifts in the financial system. By connecting macro-financial signals, micro-prudential vulnerabilities, and forward-looking market assessments, emerging risks can be identified earlier and regulatory priorities clarified. This perspective must also incorporate banks’ own strategic choices and the increasing sophistication of their internal risk-management frameworks, which shape their resilience profiles and influence the overall dynamics of the financial system. Integrating these elements, together with the growing need for regulatory simplification, supports the development of a coherent, proportionate, and resilient medium-term regulatory and supervisory strategy.
