The Financial Institutions Sector has undergone rapid changes in recent years due to socio-economic, regulatory and technological developments. Financial services have been in many cases identified to lie at the origin of the world financial crisis in the post-Lehman world, or else being involved in the aftermath of the sovereign debt crisis. The immense pressures exerted either on the national economy via the banking sector, or on the financial institutions themselves as a result of the severe economic downturn, have been marking the evolution of the Financial Institutions sector in many countries in Europe.

The post crisis landscape in the financial services industry calls for mechanisms to ensure stability. The need to adhere to enhanced regulatory norms established as a result of the crisis, together with the ongoing need to finance the real economy struggling under extreme cash shortage situations, requires the commitment of significant human and financial resources in the quest for business models that bring the industry back to normal operating conditions, away from the current state-owned status in the quest for a new wave of business growth, cost efficiency and profitable operations.
