GENDER BALANCE INDEX 2025

16 April 2025

OMFIF’s Gender Balance Index analyses the state of gender parity in senior leadership roles across the financial sector. The 2025 edition explores how far we are from reaching gender balance, based on data from more than 300 institutions, covering over 6,000 individuals.

This year’s report takes a closer look at the types of roles women hold at financial institutions. It analyses the impact of existing policies and the importance of robust data and standards in driving meaningful change towards achieving gender parity.
