Financial Services
The global financial services industry has seen myriad changes since the recession- including a new regulatory environment. Stricter regulation in a changing financial environment will suppress growth on banks globally through 2014. New regulations focused on consumer protection, stress-testing to ensure sufficient capital to withstand the impact of adverse developments, and better reporting requirements will mean a more secure banking system but one in which European and North American banks will see profits squeezed. Middle East and select South American banks are poised to continue growing in this fractured segment. Banks report revenue of just under $4 trillion globally.
Insurance, another $4 trillion industry, is experiencing its own set of challenges due to the increasing severity and occurrence of natural disasters globally. Insurers need new methods of catastrophe modeling and risk correlation. This at a time of low interest rates and weak investment returns will force insurance companies to improve underwriting margins by making tough decisions on pricing and operating approaches.
