At another level, the Bank for International Settlements has put in place regulations to encourage central banks and commercial banks to carry digital assets in their balance sheets. Such developments potentially have an impact on the core deposit business of a bank. Several countries will be digitalising their currencies and tokenising bank deposit accounts.

This is why we need to take informed decisions on these frontier developments. These developments will have profound effects on how banks will be run on a daily basis. Transactions will need to be made at all hours, complete with liquidity and counterparty risks in place. It will also transform treasury and asset-liability management. All these transformations can also reveal new opportunities and business models that need to be discussed constantly.

We organise virtual and in-person discussions, publish working papers on transformational issues, collate data, run in-house briefings and conduct benchmarking sessions for our members. Our faculty of researchers and subject matter experts keep members up-to-date on the latest developments all the time to help you future-proof your businesses. It is important to be vigilant all the time as in the digital world, the fate of a bank can turn on a dime.

We welcome members from all areas of your bank. Our organisations will no longer be defined by retail or corporate, wealth or private banking, SMEs or large corporate finance. We will need to adopt an agnostic stance on the platforms and technologies we implement in the way the customer sees us.
