"Strategic market overview of retail finance"
Since 1926, McKinsey has helped business leaders address their greatest challenges, from reorganising for long-term growth to improving business performance and maximising revenue.

During this presentation, Pat will cover McKinsey's strategic view on the European retail finance market.

  • What is the impact of the current squeeze on credit?
  • Who will be the winners and which banks are real contenders on the European scene?
  • Is there likely to be more industry consolidation and how is M+A activity being driven?
  • Will consumer needs and profiles converge?
  • What do organisations need to put in place now to emerge as winners in terms of products, customer service and infrastructure?

This in-depth understanding will address the key strategic issues facing organisations, what it takes to win and the challenges to success.
