While this will include some positive develops stemming from the last year (e.g. hybrid working conditions allowing more work-from-home time), there will be other large-scale problems in need of being solved (e.g. high unemployment rates, especially among the young and low-skilled). Within the financial world, things will change dramatically too. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already beginning to shape the sector and define the future of finance. This will continue, and, by 2025, there will be a fiercely competitive financial market. As of now, Chinese financial institutions seem to be the early winners of this AI race; however, other countries are working hard to catch up. Additionally, the largest battle in the financial sector will not be between the financial institutions of various countries; it will be between financial institutions and tech giants like Amazon and Facebook. Who will win will ultimately be decided by what regulators decide to do. Whichever side comes out victorious, consumers will also win, receiving customized services faster, cheaper and more efficiently than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>2020 was an interesting year that helped shaped the future. And the future will be here soon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-15684 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Video: is COVID-19 giving rise to the era of contactless payments?'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/video-is-covid-19-giving-rise-to-the-era-of-contactless-payments\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5a8d849d-facc-4af3-b82c-eacb8777f9c21-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15201\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15201'>\n\t\t\t\tVideo: is COVID-19 giving rise to the era of contactless payments?\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Should &#8211; be &#8211; known facts about the ATM'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/should-be-known-facts-about-the-atm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Should-be-known-facts-about-the-ATM-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-6886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Should-be-known-facts-about-the-ATM-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Should-be-known-facts-about-the-ATM-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-6886'>\n\t\t\t\tShould &#8211; be &#8211; known facts about the ATM\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Video: Ethereal Virtual Summit 2020 discussion on central bank digital currencies'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/video-ethereal-virtual-summit-2020-discussion-on-central-bank-digital-currencies\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Talking-CBDCs-Central-Bank-Digital-Currencies-in-the-Age-of-COVID19-Ethereal-Virtual-Summit-2020-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15402\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15402'>\n\t\t\t\tVideo: Ethereal Virtual Summit 2020 discussion on central bank digital currencies\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world 0f 2025 will be characterized by a very different landscape from the one we lived in just a few short years ago.
