The Financial Skills Gap: A Barrier to Growth in Modern Banking
The financial services sector is becoming increasingly complex, requiring professionals to navigate everything from intricate derivative structures to rigorous regulatory frameworks. Yet many institutions are discovering a gap in advanced financial competencies, leaving teams ill-prepared to handle tasks like robust credit analysis, portfolio optimization, or integrated risk management.
