Predictive analytics and beyond

Treasury and capital markets are undergoing significant transformation, driven by the adoption of advanced artificial technologies, particularly generative AI (GenAI). From the trading floor to the back-office, AI systems are being utilised to enhance efficiency, streamline complex tasks and uncover valuable insights. Agentic AI – a more advanced form of AI – capable of autonomous task execution and complex problem-solving, is further revolutionising the financial sector. However, it is crucial to maintain human oversight and implement robust safeguards to ensure ethical and responsible AI use. The disruptive nature of AI also raises important questions about regulation and governance in managing risks and preventing malicious use. But balancing the challenges and opportunities arising from the adoption of GenAI in treasury is pivotal. GenAI’s success in treasury and capital markets hinges on access to high-quality data and validation of AI models. It is therefore key for financial institutions to begin taking the initiative now to significantly enhance decision-making processes and position themselves at the forefront of innovation.
