Banking is at a critical turning point, as it is called upon to balance between stability and rapid change. Technological developments, geopolitical uncertainties and the increasing demands of citizens and businesses are decisively influencing the way in which financial institutions operate, both at a national and a European level.
Within this complex environment, the role of supervisory authorities and the development of a clear strategy take on particular importance.
Banks are adapting their structures and practices, investing in digital infrastructure and adopting new approaches to risk management and operational efficiency.
The entry of Artificial Intelligence, sophisticated payment systems and the increasing interconnection of markets are creating a new landscape, in which adaptability and collaboration are key prerequisites for sustainable development.
In this context, the keynote speech by the Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, Christodoulos Patsalides, at the 13th Banking, Payments and Fintech Forum and Expo is of particular interest.
His position is expected to shed light on issues concerning financial stability, the resilience of the system and the choices that will determine the course of banking in Cyprus and Europe in the coming years.
With many years of experience in the banking sector and an active role in European institutions, Christodoulos Patsalidis brings a perspective that combines supervisory knowledge and practical experience.
The 13th Banking, Payments and Fintech Forum and Expo returns to the Hilton Nicosia on 19 January as one of the most important meeting points for the financial and technology sector in Cyprus. This year’s event will highlight the strategic transformations of the sector, the role of FinTechs and payment institutions and the transition to a more digital and interconnected financial environment.
In particular, the forum will focus on:
- The role of the banking system as a pillar of economic stability and the priorities that shape the European and Cypriot banking environment
- Monetary policy and supervisory guidelines, as well as how they affect the strategy and operation of banks
- The prospects of the European banking sector in an environment of increased regulatory requirements and geo-economic changes
- The transition of corporate banking and the expectations of business customers, through data and satisfaction measurements
- The evolution of digital payments, electronic money and new business models that are changing the way transactions are conducted
- The use of artificial intelligence and digital assets as innovation drivers, but also the security, compliance and ethical challenges that accompany them
- The future of risk management in a digital banking environment, with an emphasis on new threats, preventive strategies and advanced analytical tools
