Risk Landscape Review – June 2024
The European Risk Management Council has published the Q2 2024 Risk Landscape Review. This publication focuses on updating the Risk Sentiment Index (RSI), an expert-driven, forward-looking index that captures the expectations of Chief Risk Officers and other risk executives regarding the risk landscape of the financial sector in the next 12 months. The European Risk Management Council conducted RSI surveys simultaneously in the UK and the US. This enables us to conduct a comprehensive comparison of respondents’ risk perceptions in two countries, including their perspectives on top risks and potential future risk trends.

Dr Evgueni Ivantsov wrote his opinion piece on systemic risk, which was published by Financial Times’ Banking Risk & Regulation. In the article, he expresses a concern about emerging systemic “fault lines” due to the rapid digital transformation that has taken place in recent years. Alongside the well-known tech risks in the areas of cyber security and IT resilience, there is a potential for an unnoticed accumulation of systemic risk driven by digital transformation and arising from hidden concentrations, structural changes within industries, increasing interconnectedness, and model risks.
