Newer and newer generations are becoming the customers of the financial sector and thus a source of income. Like society, attitudes towards financial management will rapidly change in the coming decades. What expectations do young people have towards financial service providers nowadays? What are the most promising and newest financial innovations in the world? How are financial institutions adapting and transforming in response? What do we see now from the mid-and long-term future for banks, insurers, and fund managers?

Sector leaders’ roundtable: the future’s bank, insurer, and fund manager
Conversation participants:
Sustainability departments have been set up in banks, the overall reduction of the carbon footprint and environmental pressures has started, and the first reports on green endeavours and their implementations have been completed. But how does ESG reshape bank financing itself? To what extent do lending processes and standards change? Can the exclusion of certain projects be counterproductive? How can the economy be greened through finance? How are the big Hungarian banks doing now, and where will they be in 5, 10, or 20 years? Another theme of the section will be: what overrides risk in equity finance?

Asset managers’ roundtable: when dreams and reality meet
Conversation participants:
The section of our conference that focuses most sharply on the short-term future: what awaits banks in the next year? Will there be a crisis; if so, how big, and what will it mean for credit institutions? How big a wave of collapses and cost increases will hit their finances? Will they have unprofitable quarters and years? What do banks’ financial leaders say about the challenges ahead? And what do regulators say: what should credit institutions do differently in this environment, and what regulatory progress can they promise them?

Simple, fast, user-friendly, smooth, digital, platform-independent, transparent: adjectives that are currently the least appropriate for most processes of domestic household borrowing and not exactly associated with borrowing. What is needed to change this? Do we need a notary, the Land Registry, or an appraiser? Will the reconsideration of existing credit types or the appearance of brand-new credit forms bring about a revolutionary breakthrough? Is BNPL the future? From what resources will we move to a new home, buy a new car, consume and invest in a few years or decades? Should we discard the concept of annuity and switch to something else? What will it take to ensure that borrowing is not only a privilege for the upper middle class (with a bit of exaggeration)? What do the future of home loans and consumer credit look like?

E, S, G: three letters that have brought a spectacular change in the asset management area in Hungary and the international markets in a few years’ time. Where will ESG lead the asset management market in the coming years and decades? Can investors and service providers keep up with regulatory expectations, and can the authorities take sufficient action against the growing greenwashing? What demand, technological, legal, capital market and property market conditions must be met for the asset management market as a whole to operate in the ESG spirit? Do we even need all this?

Current account, government bonds, cash – the most popular forms of savings among the Hungarian population over the last decade. But is this really what we need? Should we rely on them in the long term too, or should everyone trade on the stock exchange? Do we need unit-linked life insurance? Is the state tax credit a guarantee for self-care? What should the role of employers be in pension self-provision? What pension system should we consider? Do we need mediators or legal and technological guarantees are enough for selling everything online? Let’s dream about the market of self-provision for the next 5–10–20 years!

What do Hungarian savers need, and what don’t they need?
Conversation participants:
We have been familiar with certain terms for a few decades, but we are not really using them in our everyday finances. Prompt payment is part of our daily lives, but cryptocurrencies or digital central bank money are not used for payment by the average person. The spread of blockchain in finances is mainly in the future. Beyond the hype, how much can we rely on these? What will fundamentally determine how we handle our money in 20 years in Hungary? In general, how will the concept and use of money change?

It is up to companies’ financial and economic leaders to decide how the Hungarian economy will sail from one side of the sea of crisis to the other. Their responsibility is enormous: their companies must follow the best strategy with the increased energy prices, inflation, rising yield environment and the economic slowdown. What financing, investment, and acquisition decisions are made nowadays? How do they imagine the future of their own sector, market segment and company? CFOs will present in the last section of our conference, and at the end of the event, the CFO of the year 2022 award will be presented to the most deserving candidate as judged by the jury.
