FSI Magazine no. 5, edition April 2009, is out now. Amongst others, it contains an in-depth interview with Dr. Irmfried Schwimann, Director Financial Services of the DG Competition of the European Commission, about balancing state aid and competition in this era of financial crisis. ‘Maintaining a competitive internal market is the only way forward’, argues Mrs Schwimann.
This issue also contains an artistic photo-reportage of Polish banking leaders, as well as high-level articles on subjects like the future of bank branches, UCITS risk management, foreign retail opportunities in China, the changing regulatory and supervisory landscape, the cost of cash, managing reputational risk, Solvency II & operational risk, the benefits of a balanced Tax Control Framework and the amendments to IAS 39 and IFSR 7 by the IASB.
Continuing changes, enormous opportunities
The Financial Services Industry (‘FSI’ for short), perhaps more than any other, stands to benefit from the continuing changes. New rules and regulations, new technologies, changing consumer behaviour and rapid ongoing changes in demographic service areas in Europe are just some of the market developments the FSI has to contend with. Obviously, all these changes have to be implemented, and may involve substantial investments. On the other hand, greater efficiency, essential scale and new geographical boundaries present enormous opportunities for all active parties in the FSI.
