The Central Bank of Ireland released their Regulatory & Supervisory Outlook Report in February 2024. The aim of this report was to outline their perspective on the key trends and risks that are shaping the operating landscape of the financial services sector. Within this context in our second part series, we look at the theme of Risk Management. In this week’s podcast our guest speakers cover the Central Bank of Ireland’s assessment of the key risks facing regulated firms over a two-year time horizon which more broadly are captured under three thematic headings of the: - Macroeconomic and geopolitical environment - How regulated entities are responding to a changing world - Longer term structural forces at play They unpack each of these themes and discuss risk governance best practice more broadly.
