April 22, 2019-Our eight predictions about digital technology for CFOs
Coming off the success of our previous "Crunch time" reports, we're now looking towards the future with eight predictions for the finance function of 2025.

The technologies needed to reimagine finance are here and they will only get better. It's crunch time. Preparing for the future

None of us knows for certain what the future will hold, but we all have a responsibility to be thinking about what's likely to happen, and to prepare for it. In the finance function, that means working now to get the right people and technology in place to take advantage of the inevitable disruption ahead. That's not likely to happen without a clear vision and strategy for finance in a digital world. Now is the time to step back and make sure your roadmap to that future is clear.

With that in mind...

NGFS A call for action Climate change as a source of financial risk First comprehensive report

Executive summary
April 17, 2019--NGFS CALL FOR ACTION REPORT4In the October 2018 progress report, NGFS members acknowledged that "climate-related risks are a source of financial risk. It is therefore within the mandates of central banks and supervisors to ensure the financial system is resilient to these risks."

The legal mandates of central banks and financial supervisors vary throughout the NGFS membership, but they typically include responsibility for price stability, financial stability and the safety and soundness of financial institutions.

Even though the prime responsibility for ensuring the success of the Paris Agreement rests with governments, it is up to central banks and supervisors to shape and deliver on their substantial role in addressing climate-related risks within the remit of their mandates. Understanding how structural changes affect the financial system and the economy is core to fulfilling these responsibilities.
