Geopolitics is a source of risk in the short- to medium-term, making it a significant point of discussion among the C-suite. So how can financial institutions approach this risk and how does it feed into and interact with other non-financial risks? We spoke to experts at RiskMinds International to find out.

Bolstering organisational resilience through savvy non-financial risk management

Raminder Boparai, Chief Risk Officer for Markets Division at London Stock Exchange Group, elaborates on the impacts of geopolitical events on market stability and investor confidence. He shares valuable lessons learned from past crises such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, stressing the importance of playbooks and scenario planning. Raminder also addresses major non-financial risks like cyber threats and third-party risks and emphasises the need for agility and strong risk culture within organisations to maintain operational resilience.
