Theoretical status of the CKM Matrix

Abstract

In this talk I review the current status of the CKM matrix. A special emphasis is also given to several discrepancies between experiments and the standard model at the level of about three standard deviations. Recent results that appeared after FPCP2011 are also included in the discussion.
