What Major Financial Institutions Expect for 2024

We believe a ‘plurality’ of opinions can provide clarity for decisions in an uncertain environment. So, at FTI Consulting, we have read, analyzed, and summarized them all, and produced this report that we are sharing with you.

2023 outlooks focused on high inflation, an imminent recession and high energy prices. Yet the recession never came, economies were remarkably resilient, and inflation continued to be a main preoccupation. Going forward, the key notion for 2024 is uncertainty. The general macroeconomic environment, as we will see, is difficult to read.

Indeed, in 2024, a combination of factors, including upcoming elections in numerous countries, heightened geopolitical tensions represented by ongoing trade wars, tariff disputes, military posturing, technological competition, lingering economic instability with rising inflation, interest rate hikes and supply chain disruptions, paint a complex and unpredictable landscape for businesses to navigate. These factors could dampen consumer spending, slow economic growth and create volatility in financial markets.

Without further ado, please find our “What major financial institutions expect for 2024” report, prepared jointly by the Regulatory Affairs/ Government Relations and Financial Communications & Investor Relations teams of FTI Consulting in Paris.

We believe that in 2024, as political and geopolitical risk rises more than ever, Regulatory Affairs/ Government Relations will help you assess, analyze and mitigate uncertainty. Investor Relations will help you clearly and efficiently communicate with your stakeholders about how you intend to navigate uncertainty, and help you ensure that your investors are onboard and understand the way you lead in a turbulent environment.
