🌍 What will 2025 look like for the economy and the payments sector? In the ECO article, Madalena Cascais Tomé, CEO of SIBS, shares her perspective on the challenges and opportunities that will shape the coming year, both globally and in the payments and digital services sector. 📱💳 For Madalena, 2025 will be marked by significant challenges on the global economic stage, with a special focus on Europe, facing economic and political issues that limit progress. But next year will also be a year of relevant opportunities, including a new mandate for the European Commission bringing new ideas and renewed strategies. 💡 In 2025, SIBS will continue to lead with innovative solutions such as #MBWAY and #SIBSESG, meeting the new demands of an evolving market. At the same time, it will strengthen the fight against cybercrime with initiatives like SIBS Cyberwatch and SIBS Paywatch, ensuring security and digital literacy, both critical to protecting individuals and businesses in an increasingly digital world. 🌎 With a clear vision and solid strategy, we believe 2025 will be pivotal in shaping a more prosperous future. And at SIBS, we will be actively working to make that happen.
