YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
DORA Raises the Bar for Digital Operational Resilience
- DORA has applied since 17 January 2025, requiring French financial entities to map ICT risks, test resilience and strengthen third-party oversight.
- YCP translates these requirements into pragmatic roadmaps, aligning governance, vendor controls and testing priorities with business-critical services.
Instant Payments Heighten Fraud and Execution Pressures
- Euro-area providers had to receive instant euro transfers by January 2025, while October sending requirements are compressing response times and fraud controls.
- YCP helps redesign payment journeys, fraud controls and operating models so faster settlement improves customer value without weakening risk discipline.
Capital and Funding Discipline Shapes Profitable Growth
- The EU’s final Basel III rules began applying in January 2025, increasing the need for French banks to assess risk-weighted assets and capital returns precisely.
- YCP combines portfolio analytics, pricing strategy and scenario planning to help leadership allocate capital toward the most profitable growth opportunities.
Climate Losses Put Insurance Pricing and Coverage in Focus
- France recorded €6.5 billion in insured natural-catastrophe losses in 2023, intensifying pressure on pricing, reinsurance costs and coverage availability.
- YCP supports insurers with portfolio segmentation, climate-risk scenarios and product strategies that balance affordability, resilience and sustainable profitability.

Fintech in SEA: Unlocking Opportunities in Southeast Asia's Financial Landscape
Southeast Asia’s fintech sector is expanding rapidly due to digital adoption and large underbanked populations. Digital payments lead the market, while digital lending is emerging as the fastest-growing revenue segment. Long-term growth will depend on enabling regulation, strong infrastructure, and collaboration to deepen financial inclusion.
The Declining Profitability Trend in Cambodia's Banks: The Impact of Rising Costs and NPLs
Cambodia’s banking sector is facing declining profitability amid higher funding costs, slower loan growth, and rising NPLs. While macro pressures persist, banks can stabilize performance through tighter cost control, improved credit risk management, and disciplined growth, particularly in personal lending portfolios.
Strategic Growth through Programmatic M&A of Small to Medium-Sized Companies in Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia’s complex markets, programmatic M&A offers a flexible alternative to slow organic expansion and high-risk large deals. By pursuing smaller, repeat acquisitions, companies can enter markets faster, build local capabilities, and manage risk, provided strong sourcing, diligence, and integration discipline are in place.
Supply Chain Finance in Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s supply chains evolve under China+1 strategies, working capital constraints are intensifying. Supply chain finance offers a way to unlock liquidity, support suppliers, and strengthen resilience through buyer-led programs and digital platforms. Regulatory alignment and greater SME awareness can further drive adoption.
