Welcome to the annual RiskBusiness Key Business Concerns Report, 2025. Each year, we analyse the industry’s risk surveys and news to identify some of the most pressing issues impacting financial institutions in the year ahead. This year sees us facing many of the same challenges as recent years, including the rapid growth of technology powered by artificial intelligence, escalating armed conflict and growing uncertainty around regulatory obligations in a world that has taken a sharp turn towards a pro-business approach to oversight. As always, the key business concerns laid out in this report are done so in no particular order, but comprise the issues most highlighted across key industry surveys and in the media.
