We help you balance core strength with innovation so you can gain a competitive advantage
Banking and capital markets
The banking industry
The banking industry is facing a question of balance - strength in its core while navigating opportunities to invest and differentiate.
The challenges are real: net interest margins are being squeezed, core lending continues to decrease, and the rise of private credit is intensifying competition in the market. Total operating expenses have reached a new peak as inflation and investment continue to bite, while increased scrutiny and stricter capital requirements impact profitability and business models.
Finding this balance is essential for shaping the future of Australia's banking sector. With the right guidance and solutions, change can become a catalyst for gaining a competitive advantage.
