Overview

The third edition of the high profile and much awaited FE MODERN BFSI SUMMIT is set against a backdrop of a hugely transformed Indian financial sector, with its banks in a sweet spot globally. The economy is growing at over 7 per cent, inflation nearly under control, forex reserves at a record high, healthy bank balance sheets, credit cost at its lowest, financial services seeing new opportunities and also challenges emerge.

The summit will see a confluence of some of the brightest minds from the Indian BFSI arena, brainstorm, swap ideas and share insights on a range of elements that will shape the future of this sector. The summit, like its earlier two editions, will be crucial in triggering conversations and thought-sharing in the journey ahead from a focus on consumption credit at the moment to making a difference through production credit at the lowest level to providing insurance coverage for all by 2047. The path ahead is bound to be arduous needing insights on several elements- be it around raising capital, leveraging newer technology, product and process innovations to manpower training, boosting rural demand, with all coming together to support the economic growth in 2024-25 and beyond.
