Managing Uncertainty in Banking

In a time of global economic volatility, the ability to manage uncertainty was critical for banks - especially in retail banking for both individual and business customers.

In this webinar, we focused on strategies to navigate the unprecedented challenges and risks faced by financial institutions.

As trade tariffs, volatile interest rates, and inflationary pressures reshaped the economic landscape, the need for proactive planning had never been more urgent.

Throughout this webinar, we explored the key strategies and actions for how leaders in retail banking could respond effectively to uncertainty.

Experts from Simon-Kucher and AQRISK discussed:

• The importance of scenario planning and how to prepare for multiple outcomes
• The five “no-regret” actions banks could take to enhance resilience and agility
• How to assess the impact of trade tariffs on loan portfolios and adjust risk strategies accordingly
• Approaches to future-proof revenue models and offset potential losses in net interest margins
