Supply Chain In The Banking Industry Statistics

When 85% of banks faced supply chain disruption, the real pressure was felt by operations and technology, with 25% reporting severe impacts and 30% saying disruptions hit their tech and operations directly. This page connects that disruption to third party risk, cloud and visibility spending, and compliance requirements, including $14.2 billion expected for banking third party risk management software in 2024 and guidance like NIS2 and Basel that make resilience a regulated necessity.
