Quo vadis flavour physics? FPCP2017 theory summary and outlook

We review the recent highlights of theoretical flavour physics, based on the theory summary talk
given at FPCP2017. Over the past years, a number of intriguing anomalies have emerged in
flavour violating K and B meson decays, constituting some of the most promising hints for the
presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We discuss the theory status of these anomalies
and outline possible future directions to test the underlying New Physics.
