The Digital Euro is coming: Europe’s Path to Digital Sovereignty

About the webcast series
Dive into the latest trends that shape the European banking landscape. Inspired by Deloitte’s European Banking Trend Radar, our webcast series covers trends from a universal range of topics that we divide into six dimensions:
- Clients
- ESG
- Regulatory and Political
- Economics and Financial Markets
- Technology
- Company Organization
From crypto assets to fraud by generative AI, we carefully select one trend per episode that is discussed in detail by our Deloitte experts who share their knowledge and insights to help banks get an in-depth understanding on the topic and its impact on the financial industry. Using trend research, banks can analyze the most pressing market developments and act before a trend reaches maturity.
In a dynamic world that keeps changing faster and faster, a timely reaction to emerging developments is more important than ever before. Those who miss critical trends run the risk of falling behind and losing business. By contrast, firms that react swiftly have the opportunity to seize an unparalleled competitive advantage over their peers. To be successful, banks must screen for trends, evaluate their impact on all affected business units, map out scenarios and strategic plans, and allocate appropriate resources. This way, they can take advantage of not just positive developments but also shield themselves from harm by potential threats. From trend detection to the implementation of strategic decisions, Deloitte is using Trend Radar as a tool to assist clients throughout all stages of this process.
