Global FSR Outlook 2025: Perpetual Motion

We are delighted to share our global FSR Outlook 2025: Perpetual Motion.  

Our chosen title for 2025 aptly reflects what the financial services community feels as we look at the continuously evolving geopolitical, technological and socio-economic landscape, and builds on last year's theme as the bedrock shows no signs of ceasing to shift. We discuss how firms can effectively adapt to, and plan for, the complexities of this ever-changing environment. 

For 2025, our articles range from the evolution of regulatory approaches in response to the demands and expectations of governments and consumers through to the impact of quantum computing and what an aging population may mean for financial services firms.  As always, our Outlook includes regional perspectives from our offices around the world, delivering the right mix of global insight and local knowledge:

  • The long and winding road of regulatory overhaul
  • Adopt, adapt improvise? The new regulatory approach?
  • Many roads lead to Rome – Paths to redress and remediation
  • The sanity of crowds – Can smart data initiatives transform consumer finances?
  • Juggling water – How to regulate AI in financial services?
  • Teetering on the brink of quantum utility – Not if, but when
  • Rewiring the infrastructure – making transactions faster
  • A growing clamour… can NBFI get out of the shadows?
  • The anxiety of ageing – What changing demographics mean for financial service

To go beyond the headlines, explore our insights at FSR Outlook 2025: Perpetual Motion.
