Maximize Globalization
What we are witnessing today is the emergence of a new and qualitatively
higher level of globalization. Trends like the opening up of emerging
economies, accelerated cross border M&A within financial services; a
reverse capital flow from emerging markets like India and China into
the global markets; a growing demand for cross border financial services
from the global citizens of the Flat World as well as the hordes of
businesses that are globalizing and global regulatory convergence as
seen through regulatory initiatives like Basel II, Sarbanes Oxley,
IAS and so on – are
creating hitherto unexplored and unprecedented opportunities for growth.
Banks across the world – including the existing global giants, the
rapidly growing banks from emerging economies as well as the nimble
new age players with disruptive business models – are grappling with
the challenges of globalization in the Flat World and strategizing
to seize this opportunity.
Globalization is flattening the world and threatening the existing status-quo. Banks that
are agile and able to make the most of this opportunity will redefine the banking
landscape.
