Follow us on LinkedIn – The global banking and finance industry is challenged by disappointments in economic outlook, significant policy changes and divergent monetary policies across countries, slow moving global recovery, and domestic financial tightening, among others. The slowdown in global trade has also made the business environment for banks extremely tough, given that derivative markets and speculation in high-risk trade are major drivers of profitability for banks. As the world begins to adapt to a new era of slow growth, lower oil and commodity prices, and high borrowing costs, consumer and business investments are undergoing rapid change. Competition in the banking and financial sector is therefore intensifying. With financial stability continuing to remain elusive in most parts of the world including Europe and Japan, competitive rivalry is witnessing a parallel increase. Banks and financial institutions are under growing pressure to offer financial products and services at reasonable prices. Thinning margins from consumer loans and low net interest margins are forcing banks to re-evaluate their competitive strengths, and find newer markets to compete in.    

Financial deregulation and technology developments in Internet banking have opened up new battlegrounds for banks and other financial institutions. The emergence of technology firms and innovators specializing in digital services is bringing to fore the importance of competitive intelligence practices, given its potential to influence profitability of players. Banks and financial institutions therefore need to proactively benchmark and analyse competitor moves and operations.
