Why attend

We’re more than halfway through 2020, and now the effects of the pandemic are starting to come into focus for the European banking sector.

According to an Oliver Wyman report, European Banks are expected to face an estimated €800B in credit losses

The current landscape has also upset supply chains and left Corporates scrambling for liquidity and cash. And banks are now facing rising default risks and credit losses. And while it’s unlikely that the pandemic will cripple the European banking sector, it will put many European banks in a “staying afloat” limbo.

The Capital Clarity Series was launched by Oracle Financial Services to take a view around the world into what actions Corporate Banks need to take to enable better working capital clarity and agility for their clients. In this webinar, we’ll be examining the impact of the pandemic in the European region.
