“Data is becoming increasingly important, because we now have it, so we just need to be able to process it correctly in order to make the most informed decisions,” urges de Tremiolles. “Obviously it requires specific skills, but you can also see that this is a target of the regulators.

“The possibility of digitalising and automating some areas of trading is key for us. We have undertaken this in 2021 and we are accelerating this and deploying it in other areas for 2022.”
