In 2024, the character of change is more foundational – or
fundamental – in nature than ever before. From ESG to AI, the
shape of the world we live in is changing in a radical way. In
this, our annual Global Outlook, we look at the paths through
the shifting landscape for firms seeking solid ground.
The shape of regulatory change, as ever, is influenced by
geopolitical, technological, and socio-economic factors. As those
factors move at speed, financial services regulators are under
pressure to keep ahead of the game. We look at how effectively they
are doing this globally: juggling the competing demands of
financial stability, consumer protection, market confidence,
competition and innovation – and, in some cases, economic
growth and competitiveness.
