Its financing activities span sectors such as education, healthcare, and affordable housing, with a focus on serving vulnerable communities. With billions of euros in loans under management, the CEB requires robust, scalable technology to handle increasing volumes of financial transactions.

By leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning, it enhances accuracy and automates key processes such as transaction matching, exception handling, and case management. The product is highly scalable and reliable, making it suitable for banks handling large volumes of transactions. It features a cognitive reconciliation engine, enhanced pre-processing capabilities, online archiving, API integration, and mobile support, and is available for both on-premises and cloud deployment.
The product combines a modern user interface, smart dashboards, and real-time data processing to help banks manage unreconciled transactions more efficiently. Its flexible, intelligent design enables seamless automation across systems without the need for manual checks or intervention, helping reduce errors, speed up operations, and lower processing costs. Built to meet global standards like SWIFT ISO 20022, the platform ensures compliance while minimizing delays and exceptions.
Stefano Michelangeli, head of finance and risk systems at the CEB, said, The CEB has a clear mandate to enhance social development among its member countries by leveraging technology. A reliable, robust and secure reconciliations solution has been key to this vision. Automation in reconciliation with high STP (straight-through processes) is central to ensuring error-free operations for institutions such as ours.

IT's Europe deal momentum is up after three slow quarters
Agencies Representative Image As the largest technology outsourcing market — the US — navigates through the trade and policy uncertainties, deal activity has seen increased traction from Europe after three slow industry analysts have seen an approximately 5% rise in European deals from the previous quarter even as the US market remained flat at 2% growth, as per US-based research firm HFS Group. Publicly India's largest IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) alone signed at least six deals in Europe since March — telecom tower operator Vantage Towers, France's Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, Netherlands-based multi-service utility provider Hanab, Council of Europe Development Bank, Denmark-based retailer Salling Group, and UK-based airline Virgin Atlantic. Second largest company Infosys partnered with Allied Irish Banks, UK's Yorkshire Building Society while immediate rival HCLTech bagged an engineering services deal with Swedish truck maker Volvo. Smaller peers L&T Technology Services and Tata Elxsi signed a €50 million deal each with undisclosed European auto manufacturers. Even as Wipro has indicated a softer outlook in Europe, it appointed a new CEO for its European strategic unit. This, at a time when the US corporates are pausing or cancelling existing projects, amid rising cost pressures due to the tariff impact weighing on them along with the constant change in the trade policies. 'We are seeing some gradual pick-up in the UK, Benelux, and Germany after three very slow quarters in Europe. Some enterprises are openly talking about transformation to better align with the uncertain trade environment and address legacy issues like cloud migration and cybersecurity,' said Phil Fersht, founder and chief analyst at advisory firm HFS Group. After a slowness of 17 deals signed in Europe from October to December 2024, the momentum picked up to 30 in January to March quarter 2025, as shown by BNP Paribas data based on publicly available key large deals. In April and May, 14 deals were signed without accounting for the month of June. In comparison, deal signings in US stood at 11 and 12 in December and March quarter, respectively while April and May saw five deals. As per data services platform ISG, Europe saw the value of deals jump to $4.08 billion January to March 2025, up from $3.4 billion in December quarter and $3.5 billion in January to March Jain, founder and CEO of India-based IT research firm EIIR Trend, highlighted that, European auto companies, which signed three deals in the whole of 2024, have signed at least five deals so far this year, with still half a year to go. 'The reason is that European auto companies want to reduce costs while investing in SDVs (software defined vehicles). They need external support from engineering service providers at competitive prices. So, they are looking at Indian engineering service providers.'They are making faster decisions compared to US auto companies, which are struggling with greater uncertainty and lack of policy clarity, Jain the pandemic, the Indian outsourcing leaders have also been increasing their acquisitions to nearly a dozen in Europe, where the pace of revenue expansion has dented growth owing to business companies such as TCS, KPIT Technologies also opened technology and delivery centres in European countries to accelerate the offerings in the region.'The supply chain and competitive pressures will help Indian companies take more share,' said KPIT Technologies MD and CEO Kishor to experts, cost optimisation opportunities in Europe especially in auto, manufacturing and BFSI are likely to see uptick in the ongoing fiscal year 2026. In a post-results conference in April, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said the company has made several investments and scaled up in different geographies in Europe. 'So that is a good market for us. With the changes in the environment, we will sort of see what develops.' Its chief financial officer said Europe grew 3x of the company rate at 15% in constant currency terms driven by our focused approach of client mining, ramp-up of large deals and acquisitions. Besides Europe, other regions which showed growth, according to Fersht, are Middle East at around 5% with a smaller base. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific witnessed a decline of around 1-2%.The US contributes around 40-50% of the revenues for Indian IT majors, followed by Europe constituting about 20-30% of the more-than-$280 billion market of software services exported by India. For the January to March quarter, Europe's revenues at top eight firms continued to outgrow American region with a growth of 2.8% year-on-year and 1% sequentially as compared to Americas degrowth at (-0.1)% YoY and (-2.1)% sequentially, as per a recent Kotak Institutional Equities report.

Easing geopolitical tensions and renewed buying interest from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) lifted overall sentiment. On Monday, June 23, several stocks are likely to be in focus due to key developments. TCS, Infosys, Wipro IT majors TCS, Infosys, and Wipro will be closely watched after Accenture reported stronger-than-expected Q3 revenue. The growth was driven by rising enterprise demand for its AI-powered consulting services, which may reflect positively on Indian peers. JSW Energy The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has overturned an earlier NCLT order that had blocked lenders of the debt-laden Raigarh Champa Rail Infrastructure from initiating a fresh bidding process—potentially a boost for JSW Energy. Bandhan Bank The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has extended Arun Kumar Singh's term as Additional Director at Bandhan Bank by one year, effective from June 24, 2025. Tata Motors Tata Motors is intensifying efforts in the electric vehicle (EV) segment to regain lost market share. The company also plans to merge its EV arm with its passenger vehicle business. 'In the mid- to long-term, we should come back to 50% share," said Shailesh Chandra, MD of Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, at the company's recent Investor Day in Mumbai. Vodafone Idea's newly announced partnership with AST SpaceMobile for satellite-based direct-to-mobile (D2M) services may face regulatory hurdles. Analysts believe rollout delays are likely unless the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and TRAI initiate consultations to define spectrum sharing and leasing guidelines for hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks. MakeMyTrip MakeMyTrip has raised $3.1 billion via a mix of equity and debt, according to Morgan Stanley. This marks the largest fundraise ever by a listed new-age Indian company, surpassing Paytm's Rs 2.4 billion IPO in 2021. It's also the biggest concurrent equity and convertible notes offering in the Asia-Pacific region since 2022. Sun TV Network Sun TV Network issued a strong rebuttal to the legal notice filed by Lok Sabha MP Dayanidhi Maran against his elder brother and company promoter, Kalanithi Maran. The company clarified in a regulatory filing that the business separation occurred over 20 years ago and was carried out lawfully. Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) HAL has won the rights to manufacture India's Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) after emerging as the highest bidder in a Rs 511 crore tender, according to IN-SPACe. Bharat Electronics (BEL) BEL announced fresh orders worth ₹585 crore since its last disclosure on June 5. These include contracts for missile sighting systems, communication gear, jammers, critical spares, and associated services. Waaree Renewable Technologies Waaree Renewable Technologies said its existing solar EPC order value has been revised upward by Rs 246.92 crore, bringing the total to Rs 1,480.40 crore. Bank of India Bank of India's board will meet on June 26, 2025, to consider raising funds through long-term infrastructure bonds. The bank also plans to raise up to Rs 5,000 crore in FY26 via Basel-III compliant bonds. Last fiscal, it raised Rs 2,690 crore through a 10-year infrastructure bond at a 7.50% coupon, which was nearly six times oversubscribed.
