The banking and capital markets sector is being transformed by increased competition, regulation and globalisation. Investment banking is bouncing back strongly as acquisition activity gathers momentum.
The impetus for further consolidation is growing as a result of margin pressures on the one hand and — thanks to soaring profits and steadily rising share values — the surge in available capital on the other. These challenges have heightened the importance of effective risk management in delivering stable returns and supporting robust governance and compliance processes.
In PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Banking & Capital Markets practice, we bring together experts in these areas and more to help you address these important issues.
