Your challenges
In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008 and 2011, increased regulation has led to tighter constraints on financial institutions. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) rules have changed, requiring institutions to possess greater equity and transparency. The cost of increasing equity can be prohibitive, especially for smaller organisations.
As some holdings are more profitable than others, striking and maintaining the right equity balance is increasingly complex. To complicate matters further, digital ‘neo-banks’ are disrupting the industry with lightning-fast services and low fees, contributing to an uncertain and highly competitive climate for traditional institutions.
Do you have the resources in place to remain competitive? Are you able to determine, establish and maintain the right balance of equity holdings? Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are ideal vehicles to help you stay in control of your holdings. PwC will guide you through your deals every step of the way, from Strategy through Execution.
