"The future is...." As a Strategic Partner, KPMG was once again at the 2018 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where the theme was `Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World.' The WEF was looking for business, government and civil society to address an urgent need for a renewed commitment to international collaboration as a way of solving critical global challenges. This topic is very relevant to financial institutions worldwide, as the global financial system is the cornerstone of economic activity and critical for long-term global economic growth and development. In response, our global network of financial services professionals looked at what "The future is..." for banks, insurers and asset managers, and examined the trends and impact of disruption, technology and convergence on global financial institutions and their customers. Even though WEF 2018 has ended, the challenges and conversations will continue. We encourage you to take a look at the articles and let us know your thoughts, or contact your local KPMG advisors to discuss how the issues will impact your business.
