Derisking: Impacts and challenges for financial institutions
The phenomenon of “derisking” presents complex challenges that cannot be overlooked at a time when the explosion of regulatory requirements is increasingly raising concerns for banks and financial institutions. As regulations tighten, players in the banking and financial sectors must strike a delicate balance between protecting their operations from risk and promoting financial inclusion.
This webinar aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the challenges posed by derisking, and explore practical and innovative solutions that reconcile risk protection with responsible engagement.

What balance can be struck between financial exclusion and financial inclusion?

We will also discuss the global impact of derisking on international finance, its repercussions on economic sustainability and recent policy responses implemented to mitigate its negative effects.
How to reconcile GDPR requirements with AML obligations.
The role of AI and technological solutions in managing derisking risks.
