WHICH CHANGE FACTORS COULD REVOLUTIONISE FINANCE BY 2040?

The finance sector is facing unprecedented change from multiple angles.

  • On the market front, disruptive technologies, increasing competition and new consumer demands require industry actors to continuously innovate to remain competitive.

  • Regulatory shifts and geopolitical volatility create a heightened risk environment, threatening financial returns in the long term and requiring industry actors to prepare for potential surprises ahead.

  • Climate change, resource scarcity and demographic shifts also make structural transformations inevitable, thus increasing the demand for investments.

Conducted in collaboration with Futures Platform's team of futurists and a panel of 35 industry experts, our Futures of Finance 2040 report offers a 360-degree view of the key change factors shaping the future of finance and their practical impacts for those in the sector.
