Connect Magazine May Edition 2026 explores how financial institutions are redefining resilience in a world where risk is increasingly visible, interconnected, and shaped by rapid technological and geopolitical change.

This issue examines the shift from traditional risk measurement toward real-world adaptability – from managing model risk in the age of AI and strengthening governance frameworks to responding to geopolitical disruption and evolving regulatory pressures. It highlights how AI, model risk, resilience, and treasury considerations are converging, requiring institutions to move beyond static frameworks toward dynamic, decision-led risk management.

 With expert contributions spanning AI fluency, model risk transformation, geopolitical risk, regulatory change, and leadership decision-making, this edition underscores the need for stronger judgment, interdisciplinary collaboration, and proactive risk culture as firms navigate uncertainty and complexity in 2026.
