Learn about Prometeia's approach to tackling key challenges in aligning the risk, finance and strategic functions of the business, and explore emerging trends such as ESG, AI, and sustainable finance in the banking industry.
Understanding the shift in geopolitical risk management
Geopolitical risk is a topic generating significant debate across the banking industry. Previously a key component of strategic decision-making and planning, it has now extended its influence into areas like Chief Risk Officer (CRO) agendas and financial risk management. Combining economic research, advanced analytics, and modelling, Prometeia adopts multiple approaches to address geopolitical risk management.
Integrating risk, finance, and strategic functions
One of the complexities financial institutions face is aligning the risk, finance, and strategic functions of their operations. For Prometeia, integrating data, scenarios, risk assessments, and quantification methodologies into one platform is essential for success. The platform encompasses data collection, cashflow generation and scenario management production, to allow business leaders a holistic view of the operating environment.
Emerging trends in risk management
Looking forward to 2026 and beyond, several trends impact risk management. As sustainable finance and geopolitics converge, banking institutions are tasked with simulating wider stress testing scenarios while aiming for net-zero alignment and GOC targets.
Additionally, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) plays a transformative role. Adoption of generative AI, large language models (LLM), and other technologies can enable auto-validation of models and analytical processes.
