What's in the report

1. Emerging risk categories

  • Analysis of the emerging risk categories of greatest concern over the next 12-36 months
  • An appendix featuring a comprehensive overview of the specific drivers and concerns for each category

2. The external macroenvironment

  • An in-depth examination of the factors that firms perceive as having the greatest potential to both shape and detrimentally affect the evolving risk landscape across our selected six macroenvironmental categories
  • A list of management actions currently underway across firms to mitigate risks and enhance resilience across each of these categories

3. Key risks in focus

  • A summary of key points made on four priority risk areas, selected by ORX as topical and of high importance to firms – emerging technology, cybersecurity, climate risk, and social risk
“The solidification of the top four emerging risks, consistent with 2023, anticipates the continuation of an increasingly integrated, digital and data-driven working environment, and the risks associated with the growing reliance on key technology service providers. These advancing challenges will face not only individual firms, but the entire financial sector.”
