Regulation as a catalyst for change. What is really behind today’s regulatory pressure on banks?
Since January 2025, DORA has changed the rules of the game: banks are no longer assessed based on what is written in their policies, but on whether their digital resilience mechanisms work in practice. A similar logic is evident in requirements related to risk data quality (BCBS 239), the explainability of provisions calculations (IFRS 9), and the consistency of the capital and liquidity narrative under SREP, ICAAP, and ILAAP. Increasingly, regulatory pressure is focusing on the operational foundations of banks: data, processes, and system architecture. In this article, we examine the regulations that are currently driving the most significant changes in banks, as well as the shared challenges and solution directions that underpin them.
