As lockdown restrictions begin to ease on the back of the COVID-19 pandemic, the strategic focus within the banking, insurance, superannuation and asset management sectors is shifting from being the initial ‘shock-absorbers’ towards success in a post-crisis world and the role the financial services industry as a whole must play in the Australian economic ‘reboot’.
As the keeper and allocator of capital, the enabler of savings, investment and commerce, and the transferer of risk, financial services isn’t just another industry; its role in the commercial ecosystem is especially crucial at this moment. The choices that financial service leaders make now will have profound and lasting implications on the future state of the financial services industry, as well as the trajectory of the Australian economic ‘reboot’.
Areas including digital/workforce transformation, innovation of offer, business model and collaborative operating platforms, will be fundamental for the financial services sector’s ability to reinvigorate Australia’s economic growth and keep pace with rapidly-evolving market expectations and demand.
