The meeting explored strategic topics such as advances in treasury platforms, risk management and reporting, the impact of geopolitics on investment decisions, macroeconomic outlooks for 2026, regulatory reporting requirements, and the role of leadership in the era of artificial intelligence.
Cecabank turns its experience as a financial institution into SaaS solutions for treasury, risk, and regulatory reporting, acting as a strategic B2B partner to more than 50 institutions.
Cecabank — a benchmark bank in the provision of treasury, risk, and reporting management platform services — brought together more than 150 experts from over 25 institutions at the 18th edition of its Treasury, Risk and Reporting Conference, an event that has become a leading forum for professionals in the financial sector.
The event, held at Cecabank’s Espacio28, brought together leading speakers who addressed key issues such as developments in treasury, risk, and reporting platforms; geopolitical risks and their impact on investment; macroeconomic prospects for 2026; financial, prudential, and resolution reporting — with a particular focus on simplification and forthcoming regulatory changes expected next year — and leadership in the age of artificial intelligence. All of this took place through a round-table discussion, two presentations, and a dialogue session. The conference was chaired by Massimo Salerno, Director of Treasury, Risk and Reporting Services at Cecabank.
The opening address was delivered by Ainhoa Jáuregui, CEO of Cecabank, who highlighted: “In a financial world that demands precision and trust, the treasury and back-office departments are the heart that drives a bank’s strength. The expert knowledge within these areas and a deep understanding of our clients’ needs enable us to be the strategic B2B partner of more than fifty institutions, to which we provide SaaS solutions in treasury, risk, and regulatory reporting.” She added: “The success of our clients is also our own; which is why we invest in technology, talent, and continuous improvement to support them in facing the challenges of an increasingly complex environment”.
In the first session, Alberto Martín, Director of Market and Risk Applications and Services at Cecabank, presented the evolution of the Treasury, Risk and Reporting Platform, noting its impact on operational efficiency and strategic decision-making.
This was followed by a round-table discussion on geopolitical risks and investment, moderated by Elisa Ricón, Director of Regulation at Cecabank. Participants included Jesús Morales, Head of Financial and Risk Consulting at AFI; Ángel Pascual Ramsay, Professor of Geopolitics and Geoeconomics at ESADE Business School; and Luis Soutullo, Corporate Chief Financial Officer at Cecabank. The experts offered a comprehensive view of emerging risks and their influence on financial markets, underlining that geopolitical risks remind us that stability is not a given, but a goal that requires analysis and anticipation.
The conference continued with an analysis of the macroeconomic outlook for 2026, delivered by Raymond Torres, Director of Economic Conditions and International Economics at Funcas. In his presentation, he highlighted that the macroeconomic outlook for the coming year invites us to look beyond the short term and understand the trends that will shape strategic decisions.
This was followed by an expert dialogue entitled “Financial, Prudential and Resolution Reporting: Simplification and 2026 Developments”, featuring Olga Pilar Blázquez, Head of the Financial and Prudential Information Division at the Bank of Spain, and Berta Melgosa, Head of the Prudential and Resolution Information Unit at the Bank of Spain. During the discussion, they addressed the main challenges of prudential reporting and shared the regulatory developments expected for the coming year, stressing that simplification and reporting changes are not merely regulatory adjustments, but opportunities to gain efficiency and strengthen transparency.
One of the most inspiring moments was the contribution by Adriana Caliri, Leadership Coach and CEO (former NIKE GM), who addressed the challenges of leadership in the era of artificial intelligence, highlighting the importance of empathy, strategic vision, and adaptability to change. She emphasised that leadership in the age of AI challenges us to combine human insight with technological power in order to lead with responsibility and innovation.
The closing remarks were delivered by Juan José Gutiérrez, Corporate Director of Technology Services at Cecabank, who thanked attendees for their participation and reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. “With initiatives such as this conference, Cecabank strengthens its role as a benchmark bank in the provision of treasury, risk, and reporting management platform services, and as a driver of knowledge and collaboration in the financial sector”, he noted.
