Key themes: macroeconomic tailwinds with net interest income rebounding; complex regulatory landscape across APRA (CPS 220), MAS (Notice 612), and RBI (Digital Lending Guidelines); AI/ML moving from pilot to production in credit decisioning and portfolio monitoring; ESG-linked lending transitioning from niche to mainstream; and a practical four-phase transformation roadmap.
