The State of Systemic Risk 2026 Report
Closing the gap between awareness and action

Most institutions know the risks. Few are equipped to act on them.

Geopolitical instability, interest rate volatility and regulatory pressure are reshaping how risk professionals think about balance sheet management. But many institutions are struggling with the gap between awareness and action. In The State of Systemic Risk 2026 report by CeFPro® and supported by FIS®, explore the new risk landscape and discover how to move from insight to decision with confidence.

 Scattered risk data leaves you exposed
Companies point to cost, siloed data and legacy technology as factors that keep them from running more frequent enterprise-wide stress testing. Here’s what’s CeFPro found in a survey of 166 risk professionals about their risk concerns and the technology they’re using to manage it.

Fragmented systems hide your real exposure
Only 13% of institutions report a fully integrated view across risk, capital, liquidity and earnings.

Geopolitical risk stays unmodeled
Just 10% quantitatively model geopolitical scenarios and link them to balance sheet impacts.

Stress testing struggles to drive decisions
More than half (52%) question whether stress testing meaningfully influences business decisions.

Data doesn’t move on its own
Only 13% of institutions say more than three-quarters of their risk data flows automatically between systems.
