The Future of Finance a year on: A conversation with Huw van Steenis and Lord Macpherson

It has been a year since Huw van Steenis published his Future of Finance review. As a senior adviser to Mark Carney he led the review into the future of the UK’s financial system, and what it might mean for the Bank of England's agenda over the coming decade. One year on and in a very different socio-economic environment, what does the reports architect think of the progress that has been made, and where the Bank and wider industry should be focusing their energies? Has the pandemic accelerated the digital transformation shift? Is the industry making progress at sufficient pace? How can technology strengthen firms’ operational resilience? How has consumer behaviour changed? And how can regulators and the financial services sector support the transition to a carbon neutral economy? Discussing this and more, Hannah Gurga, Managing Director, Digital Technology & Cyber and Chief of Staff at UK Finance, is joined by: Huw van Steenis, Group Managing Director and Senior Adviser to the Chief Executive of UBS (and former Senior Adviser to Mark Carney, the Governor of Bank of England) Lord Nick Macpherson, Chairman of C Hoare & Co, and former permanent secretary of the Treasury.
