Banking Advisory

The banking industry is undergoing unprecedented changes both in the developed world and in emerging markets. Financial institutions focus more and more on developing low-cost operating models as a result of increasing bad debts, high cost of funding, margin pressure, erosion of non-interest income, as well as increasing regulatory and compliance requirements.

In this changing landscape there is a unique opportunity for some banks and financial institutions to move beyond the crisis and emerge either as new market leaders or enhance their existing leading position. But this is only possible through innovation and evolution.
