BCG Report: AI Could Free 40% of Banks' Middle and Back-Office Capacity by 2030
A Boston Consulting Group report projects that artificial intelligence could free up to 40% of workforce capacity in banks' middle- and back-office functions by 2030, as operations shift toward technology-led models. This freed capacity may be redeployed to higher-value roles rather than resulting in net job losses. Corporate and investment banking revenues are expected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2026 and $1.4 trillion by 2030, offering banks opportunities to invest in technology and improve efficiency and profitability.
