Sibos conference theme

Recharging Global Finance

The 2021 theme – Recharging Global Finance - addressed how the financial ecosystem can reassess and reenergise to meet client, regulatory and societal demands of the future.

The ambitious Sibos 2021 programme focussed on how the industry can emerge from this period of disruption stronger than ever, and included four interconnected sub-themes – digital acceleration, managing risk, transformative technology and banking on change.
