What's really keeping banking supervisors up at night? It's not just one thing anymore. We're looking at a perfect storm brewing—geopolitical tensions fragmenting markets, demographic curves bending in unexpected ways, tech disruption accelerating faster than regulations can keep up, and cyber threats evolving daily. These aren't isolated issues. They're interconnected risks that could cascade through the financial system. The message from regulators is clear: constant adaptation isn't optional. Supervisory frameworks need to evolve as quickly as the threats themselves. Banks operating in this environment face a fundamentally different risk profile than even five years ago, and the oversight mechanisms have to reflect that reality.

I completely agree, the era where regulation can't keep up has arrived.
Regulation is always reactive, only realizing the need to plug loopholes after things have collapsed.
There are too many issues, geopolitics + population + technology + Hacker, who can withstand this combination?
The risk profile of banks has changed so much in the past five years, yet the regulatory framework is still using old practices... it would be strange if nothing went wrong.
To put it bluntly, risks are accelerating, rules are lagging behind, who fills the gaps in between?

ngl the regulatory mechanism can't keep up with this wave of risk iteration, banks are really playing with fire
---
Geopolitics + demographic structure + technological explosion + hacker intrusion, this quartet directly hits the financial system, this is not a rhythm that regulation can hold
---
The risk control framework from five years ago is just a display now, the market has already changed the rules of the game
---
Regulators are anxious but there's nothing they can do, the adaptation speed can never keep up with the evolution of risks
---
The term "perfect storm" is not an exaggeration, the accumulation of risks is the real killer
---
So, how deep the water is in the banking industry now... the rules change every day but it's always a step late
---
Upgrading the framework sounds easy, but in actual execution, major institutions are all groping in the dark while eating crabs.

The regulators seem a bit anxious this time; the rules can never keep up with the pace of risks... To put it bluntly, it's like whack-a-mole, pressing one down while another pops up.

Ngl, the regulatory trap really can't keep up with the speed of technological iteration; the risk control framework from five years ago should have been retired long ago.

The fact that regulation can't keep up with technology is really amazing, it's completely like "the old man can't catch up with his son".
The rules are still written on paper, while the hackers have already taken to the skies, and the banks are under immense pressure.
Geopolitics, population crisis, tech explosion, cyber threats... coming all at once, the system must have collapsed by now.
Rather than saying the framework needs to evolve, it's more accurate to say that the current rules are already over, right?
The defenses from five years ago are just decorations now, no wonder the pros are all sleepless.
If you ask me, these risks are like playing with fire, and someone will ultimately take the blame.
