Banking & capital markets

A new normal is emerging for banks and capital markets-securities firms. Regulatory reform, more stringent capital requirements, risk management considerations, disruptive technologies, a low interest rate environment, enhanced reporting requirements and other issues means that a return to growth will be as challenging as ever. Sophisticated strategies and solutions will be required for financial institutions to gain a competitive edge.
